What do your students do from 7:00-7:30 daily?
As you look at your daily schedule, think about what you have your students doing for the 30 minutes before the school day starts. Some classes wait until 7:40-7:45 to get going because of the number of students tardy. We suggest you implement a drop everything and read time! Adding 20 minutes of reading to the daily schedule for students who are here can make a huge impact! See below on some of the statistics.
Students who scored 90% better than their peers on reading tests, read for more than 20 minutes a day – exposing them to 1.8 million words a year.
Students who scored at fifty percentile, read on average only 4.6 minutes a day – exposing them to 282,000 words per year.
Students in the ten percentile for reading, read less than 1 minute per day – exposing them to 8,000 words per year. (It would take them one year to read as many words as what a good reader would read in two days.)
