Experts say thatchildren should read 20-30 minutes a day…but WHY?
If “Child A” reads for 5 minutes a day, five times a week, she’ll be reading25 minutes per week.
If “Child B” reads for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, he’ll be reading at least150 minutes per week.
Since there are 4 weeks in a month: Child A will read 100 minutes each month. While Child B will read 600 minutes each month.
There are 12 months in a year so… reads 1,200 minutes a year. reads 7,200 minutes a year.
