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)

tested on 30 addition/subtraction basic math facts in 2 minutes. *They should complete
with 100% accuracy
