Comments on: About Word Counts https://joechip.net/extensivereading/2011/06/10/about-word-counts/ Working towards 三国志, one picture book at a time Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:21:19 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.9 By: Liana https://joechip.net/extensivereading/2011/06/10/about-word-counts/#comment-365 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:21:19 +0000 https://joechip.net/extensivereading/?p=397#comment-365 Thanks for commenting! If you give it a shot, let me know :)

The more I read, the more I think that character counts would have been best. For now I’m simply OK not worrying about it — when there’s more extensive readers out there, maybe we’ll think about it a little more. I do think it’s a better metric than pages, though; the level 3 books I’ve been reading clock in at around 75-85 pages, but a level 4 book of the same length will have many more words, and a level 5 book that’s not much longer will have even more words than that! So like you say, it’s good for relative progress.

I haven’t been able to stop researching it since. I’m enthralled by the idea. Your word counts were kind of confusing to me. I thought maybe you had an e-reader that has a word count functionality, but I see your system as very competent. Perhaps you should have done yourself a favor and counted the particles, but you seem to have learned from your mistake and as a person interested in partaking in extensive reading, I find it helpful to read your retrospection. Don’t worry about the accuracy. As long as you are consistent and know relative progress…I’m sure you’ll be fine! In the end, you still read the same amount, regardless of what your count says.
