Why Do I Have to Read 15 Minutes Each Night?

Let’s do some math…

Student A reads for 15 minutes a night

Student B reads for 5 minutes a night

Step One: Multiply 15 minutes a night times 4 nights a week.

Student A is reading for 60 minutes a week (and hopefully more!)

Student B is reading 20 minutes a week.

Step Two: Multiply minutes a week times 4 weeks each month.

Student A is reading for 240 minutes a month.

Student B is reading 80 minutes a month.

Step Three:  Multiply minutes a month times 10 months in a school year.

Student A is reading for 2,400 minutes each school year!

Student B is reading 800 minutes each school year.

Some questions to think about:

Which student would you expect to read better?

Which student would you expect to know more?

Which student would you expect to write better?

Which student would you expect to have a better vocabulary?

Which student would you expect to be more successful in school… and in life?

Now go read!!!
