    The document compares three hypothetical students - Student A reads for 20 minutes per day, Student B reads for 5 minutes per day, and Student C reads for 1 minute per day. It shows that by 6th grade, Student A will have read for the equivalent of 60 school days, Student B for 12 school days, and Student C for only 1 school day. Reading more each day results in vastly greater exposure to words and vocabulary building, putting students who read more at a significant advantage in school performance and long term success.
