Did you know one of the most prominent indicators of a successful reader is the amount of time spent actually reading?
Student A reads 20 minutes 5 nights of every week.
Student B reads only 4 minutes a night or not at all!
Step 1: Multiply minutes a night x 5 times each week
Student A reads 100 minutes a week. Student B reads 20 minutes a week.
Step 2: Multiply minutes a week x 4 weeks each month.
Student A reads 400 minutes a month. Student B reads 80 minutes a month.
Step 3: Multiply minutes a month x 9 months for the school year Student A reads 3600 minutes in a school year. Student B reads 720 minutes in a school year. Student A practices reading the equivalent of ten whole school days a year. Student B gets the equivalent of only two school days of reading practice. By the end of 6th grade if Student A and Student B maintain these same reading habits, Student A will have read the equivalent of 60 whole school days. Student B will have read the equivalent of only 12 school days.Which do you think will be the more successful reader?
