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).
Originally Answered: Is a typing speed of 84 words per minute really high for a 21 year old? Comparison of typing speeds, like most other things, is very subjective. A typing speed of 84 wpm is certainly much higher than that of an average person. I'd say that most people who haven't learnt touch typing would key in under 60 wpm. If you're comparing yourself to such people, than yes, 84 wpm is really high. However people who do learn touch typing in can key in much faster.
