    The document compares the reading habits and standardized test scores of three hypothetical students: Student A reads for 20 minutes per day and scores in the 90th percentile, Student B reads for 5 minutes per day and scores in the 50th percentile, and Student C reads for 1 minute per day and scores in the 10th percentile. It also notes that if they maintain these reading habits from kindergarten through 6th grade, Student A will have read for the equivalent of 60 school days, Student B 12 school days, and Student C only 3 school days. The conclusion is that reading more frequently correlates with better reading ability and test scores.
