Does Reading 30 Minutes A Day Work
Reading is a skill that will take you far in life. You need to be a good reader if you are going to have any success in high school and college, and conversely, a lack of reading skills can make it difficult to learn any subject.
The only way to get better at reading is to practice. It is recommended that children should take time to read every day. For most kids this is not a problem, especially if they can choose what books to read. However, for anyone who struggles with reading, it can be a difficult. Having them sit and read doesn’t work well because their lack of reading skills my frustrate them and they may resist any attempts to get them to read.
Studies have shown that one on one reading for just 30 minutes a day can help these children gain two years of reading skills in as little as five months. For most students who struggle, this should get them to grade level. Since writing skills are linked to how much you read, their writing skills also improve significantly.
So, if your child is struggling with reading, schedule some one on one time with him.
