Ten Minutes a Day for Silent Reading.

Gardiner, Steve

Educational Leadership, v59 n2 p32-35 Oct 2001

Sustained silent reading programs have many names, but share similar guidelines. Students read for enjoyment for an uninterrupted time daily, choose their own books and whether to finish them, observe teachers modeling good reading habits, and are not required to take tests or write book reports on their reading.
