books

Researchers found that kids with access to 500 books at home can be expected to graduate high school. Children with minimal access to books at home often don’t make it past ninth grade.

Students who read 15 minutes or more per day achieve accelerated reading gains, while students who read less than 15 minutes per day may be at risk of falling behind their peers.

49%

Nearly half of students read for less than 15 minutes a day. Students read most in elementary school, but by the end of high school the typical student spends just 8 minutes per day reading books.
