Reading
Taught by: Ms. Tessier, Mrs. Oppenheim and Ms. Richards
READ, READ, READ
Research has found that students acquire more vocabulary from reading than they do through conversations. Even adults at the college level were found to have learned more vocabulary from reading than conversing with their peers. Data has shown that students who read for one minute per day are only exposed to eight-thousand words per year verses students who read for twenty minutes per day are exposed to over one and a half million words per year. Students who read more than twenty minutes per day were found to score eighty percent better on reading tests than students who only read for one minute.
