Student A reads 20 minutes five nights of every week: Student B reads only 4 minutes a night..or not at alll Step 1: Multiply minutes a night x5 times each week. Student A reads 20 min, x 5 times a week = 100 minutes a week Student B reads 4 minutes x5 times a week= 20 minutes a week Step 2 Multiply minutes a week x4 weeks each month. Student A reads 400 minutes a month. Student B reads 80 minutes a month. Step 3 Multiply minutes a month x9 months/school year Student A reads 3600 minutes in a school year. Student B reads 720 minutes in a school year. Student A practices reading the equivalent of ten whole school days a year. Student B get the equivalent of only two school days of reading practice. By the end of 6" grade if Student A and Student B maintain these same reading habits, Student A will have read the equivalent of 60 whole school days. Student B will have read the equivalent of only 12 school days. One wold expect the gap of information retained will have widened considerably and so, undoubtedly, will school performance. How do you think Student B will feel about him/herself as a student? Some questions to ponder: 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 vocabilary? Which student would you expect to be more successful in school..and in life? If daily reading begins in infancy, by the time the child is five years old, he or she has been fed roughly 900 hours of brain food! Reduce that experience to just 30 minutes a week and the child's hungry mind loses 770 hours of nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and stories.4 Growing Strong Readers Powerful Paired Reading Dear parents and guardians, Did you know that YoU are one of the most important pieces in the success of your child's educational development?
