"Why Can't I Skip My 20 minutes of Reading Tonight?"
Did you know one of the most prominent indicators of a successful reader is the amount of time spent actually reading?!
Student A reads 20 minutes 5 nights of every week.
Student B reads only 4 minutes a night or not at all!
Step 1: Multiply minutes a night x5 times each week.
Student A reads 100 minutes a week.
Student B reads 20 minutes a week.
Step 2: Multiply minutes a week x4 weeks each month.
Student A reads 200 minutes a month.
Student B reads 80 minutes a month.
Step 3: Multiply minutes a month x9 months for the
school year.
Student A reads 3600 minutes a school year.
Student B reads 720 minutes a school year.
Student A practices reading the equivalent of ten whole school days a year.
Student B gets the equivalent of only two school days or reading a year.
By the end of 6th 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 wil have read the equivalent of only 12 school days.

"The dog ate my homework!" |
Don't let this happen to you. Please help your child become an organized and responsible student. Set aside a certain time each day for homework. Make sure your child has an area free of distractions. Always pack bookbags before going to bed to avoid hectic mornings. |
