"...No single literacy activity has a more positive effect on students' comprehension, vocabulary knowledge, spelling, writing ability, and overall academic achievement than free voluntary reading." -The Book Whisperer, Donalyn Miller
I challenge and expect every student to double the number of books they each read last year, with an ultimate goal of reading between 30-40 books this school year. To achieve this, students should read for at least 30 minutes nightly.
