"Nancie Atwell in her book The Reading Zone writes: Every measure that looks
at pleasure reading and its effects on student performance on standardized
tests of reading ability-and science and math-tells us that the major
predictor of academic success is the amount of time that a student spends
reading. In fact the top 5 percent of U.S. students read up to 144 times
more than kids in the bottom 5 percent."
