Reading Program • Reading workshops are taught in the form of a mini lesson. Then students practice that skill with silent reading. • Silent sustained reading is necessary for students to become better readers. • Research shows a minimum of 60 minutes is needed daily to reach the next grade level of reading. • 40 minutes of reading is our goal at school. • 20 minutes of reading is what we expect nightly at home.
