                                                          "The greatest gift is a passion for reading.”

                                                          Please do not let your child skip their 20 minutes of reading!  Let me show you why.

                                                          Student A reads 20 minutes every night.
                                                          Multiply minutes a night X 5 times a week.
                                                          Student A 20 minutes X 5= 100 minutes a week.
                                                          Multiply minutes a week X 4 weeks a month.
                                                          Student A reads 400 minutes a month.
                                                          Multiply minutes a month X 9 months.
                                                          Student A reads 3600 minutes in a school year! 

                                                          Student B reads 5 minutes a night or not at all.
                                                          Multiply minutes a night X 5 times a week.
                                                                                               Student B 5 minutes X5 = 25 minutes a week or less.
                                                                                               Multiply minutes a week X 4 weeks a month.
                                                                                               Student B read 100 minutes a month or less.
                                                                                               Multiply minutes a month X 9 months.
                                                                                               Student B only reads 900 minutes a year or less!

                                                                                              Which student reads better student A or B?
                                                                                              Which student will write better?
                                                                                              Which student will have a wider vocabulary?
                                                                                              Which student will be more successful in school and in life?
                                                                                              
                                                                                              Which student do you want your child to be?
