To find the score for a given paragraph, note the time required to 

 read it and the number of errors made. For illustration, paragraph 1 

 may be read by pupil A in 34 seconds ^vith 8 errors. 



In the left-hand column of the table find the time unit which cor- 

 responds to 84 seconds. Evidently it is the time unit 30-39. 



Follow the horizontal line of numbers to the right of 30-39 to the 

 column which represents 3 errors. The score indicated there is 2. 



Enter this score on the score sheet in the column for paragraph 1, 

 opposite the reader's name. 



The score for each paragraph should be determined and entered in 

 the same way. Make no entry on the score sheet if the score is 0. 



2. Proceed as follows to find the average class score: 



(a) Find the sum of the scores for each paragraph separately 



and enter each total score at the foot of the appropriate column on the 



score sheet. 



(6) Enter the total score for each paragraph in the column under 

 "Score," in the following table:
