What is Kaia's WCPM if she read 84 words in one minute with 7 errors?

• A. 77 WCPM
• B. 70 WCPM
• C. 80 WCPM
• D. 74 WCPM

Answer: (A)

To determine Kaia's Words Correct Per Minute (WCPM), you subtract the number of errors from the total number of words read. In this instance, Kaia read 84 words but made 7 errors. The calculation would be as follows: 84 (total words read) - 7 (errors) = 77 WCPM. Therefore, the correct calculation leads to a WCPM of 77. This means that while Kaia read a total of 84 words in one minute, only 77 of those words were read correctly, making this the accurate representation of her reading fluency.
