reading statistics
Children who read too frequently are more likely to count to 20, write their own name and read (NCES)
A study of K-12 student reading habits demonstrated that six extra minutes of reading per day can turn a struggling reader into one who meets or surpasses their grade’s benchmark.
Third grade students who are “proficient” in reading are almost five times more likely to graduate high school than their peers with “below-basic” reading skills. 82% of sixth graders who fail an English class don’t graduate high school.
Households with an income of $100,000 or more had almost twice the number of books in the home compared to households with an income of $35,000 or less.
