  1. Sustained Silent Reading

  2. Sustained silent reading (SSR) has become increasingly common in classrooms around the country. SSR calls for students to read independently for a certain amount of time everyday in silence, varying in length according to grade level. While some believe that that SSR is beneficial to students’ acquisition of the language and improves writing skills, others believe that it is simply a waste of time that could be spent on direct instruction. Carefully read the following sources then synthesize the information and incorporate it into a coherent, well-developed essay that defends, challenges, or qualifies the claim that sustained silent reading has beneficial effects on students’ writing skills and vocabulary. Make sure that our argument is central; use the sources to illustrate and support your reasoning. Avoid merely summarizing the sources. Indicate clearly which sources you are drawing from, whether through direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary. You may cite the sources as Source A, Source B, etc., or by using the descriptions in parentheses. Source A (Pennington) Source B (LoBello) Source C (Chart) Source D (Video)
