COVID 19 Recovery through Reading
A study of K-12 student reading habits demonstrated that 6 extra minutes of reading per day can turn a struggling reader into one who meets or surpasses their grade's level benchmark.
Students who read 15 minutes or more per day - about 46%- made accelerated gains!
There is no substitute for time spent reading. Texting, social media content, and academic reading do not replace the process of reading novels either fiction or nonfiction.
