Why Can’t I Skip My 20 Minutes of Reading Tonight???

Imagine the following:

Student “A” reads 20 minutes each day.
That is 3,600 minutes in a school year
1,800,000 words
90th Percentile

Student “B’ reads 5 minutes each day.
That is 900 minutes in a school year
82,000 words
60th Percentile

Student “C” reads 1 minute each day.
That is 80 minutes in a school year
8,000 words
30th Percentile

By the end of 6th grade, Student “A” will have read the equivalent of 60 whole school days. Student “B” will have read only 12 school days. Which students should you expect to have a better vocabulary? Which student would you expect to be more successful in school…and in life?
