A system and method for measuring reading skills is described. An individual whose reading skills are to be evaluated reads aloud from a text. As the person reads aloud from the text, a speech signal is captured. The speech signal is analyzed to provide an estimate of what the individual said and to measure a timing of the words said. The estimate and timing is combined with parameters assigned to each word said to form a measure of the individual's reading skill. The measure of the individual's reading skill is substantially independent of the text.
