Handwriting Speeds Handwriting Speeds for Copying Tasks Studies compiled by Amundson (1995) show that copying rates using handwriting at the 1 st grade level are about 5 words per minute (WPM) on average, but by the end of elementary school at the 5 th and 6 th grade level are about 10 to 12 WPM.e found that the average compositional rate of 4 th grade students with learning disabilities using handwriting was 4 to 5 words per minute, while the average handwriting rate of 6 th grade students with learning disabilities during composing was about 9 words per minute (Figure 4).
The average human being hand-writes at 31 words per minute for memorized text and 22 words per minute while copying. Using stenography (shorthand) methods, this rate increases greatly. Handwriting speeds of up to 350 wpm have been achieved in shorthand competitions.haracters per minute (CPMn), a measure of characters processed in a minute, is normally WPM times five for English, so that 20 WPM are 100 CPM.
