A 2nd grader at grade level should read about 100 words per minute by spring. Students at the 75th percentile read around 124 WCPM, while those at the 25th percentile read about 72 WCPM by year end. Regular assessment tracks whether your child is on track.

Your 2nd grader may be behind if they read below 36 WCPM in fall, below 59 WCPM in winter, or below 72 WCPM in spring. Other signs include avoiding reading, struggling with basic sight words, or poor reading comprehension. Second grade is still early enough for highly effective intervention.
