Why Can’t I Skip My Reading Tonight?

Student “A”Reads 20 minutes

each day,3600 minutes in

a school year!

Student “B”Reads 5 minutes

each day,900 minutes in a

school year! Student “C”Reads 1 minute

each day,180 minutes in a

school year!

By the end of the 6th grade Student “A” will have read the equivalent of 60 whole school days. Student “B” will have read only 12 school days. Which student would you expect to have a better vocabulary? Which student would you expect to be more successful in school…and in life? (Nagy & Herman, 1987)

Ways to support reading at home… 1. Read together as a family. 2. Listen while your child reads. 3. Read Anything and Everything. 4. Let your child see you reading. 5. Talk with your child about the book they are reading.
