Why do we have to read silently for a grade in reading class?

Because it has been proven time and again that reading silently 
(independently) improves your reading comprehension skills, not to mention 
your vocabulary (if you read at or above your grade level).

How long does a paragraph in an essay have to be?

As long as you need it to be to say what needs to be said in that 
paragraph!  That being said - five (5) sentences is a good number to start 
with, since you need a topic sentence and a transition sentence, and at 
least a couple good detail sentences.  Be thorough and specific!
