WP Reading Time let’s you easily add an estimated reading time to your WordPress posts. Activating the plugin will automatically add the reading time to the beginning of your post’s content. This can be deactivated in the Reading Time settings which can be accessed from your Dashboard’s Settings menu. You can also edit the label and postfix from this menu.
If you’d prefer more control over where you add your reading time you can use the the [rt_reading_time] shortcode to insert the time into a post. This shortcode also excepts values for label and postfix. These are optional. Ex. [rt_reading_time label=”Reading Time:” postfix=”minutes” postfix_singular=”minute”].

Just what I needed

Reading Time WP creates an estimated reading time of your posts that is inserted above the content or by using a shortcode.

SJ Reading Time is a simple content read time estimator. Our settings allow you to control how many words per minute (wpm) on average you would like to use to determine read time, 
as well as, if images should be part of this estimate.
A shortcode is provided which gives complete control over where on your post you would like the estimate to be placed.
For example: 
[sjrt_reading_time label=”Reading time:” postfix=”mins” postfix_singular=”min”]
All the above attributes are optional and if not provided the default values will be shown which are:
<ul>
<li><code>label</code> – Reading time</li>
<li><code>postfix_singular</code> – min</li>
<li><code>postfix</code> – mins</li>
</ul>
