Importance of Free Voluntary Reading

"In The Power of Reading, his meta-analysis of research investigating reading over the past forty years, Stephen Krashen reveals that no single literacy activity has a more positive effect on students' comprehension, vocabulary knowledge, spelling, writing ability, and overall academic achievement than free voluntary reading." ~ pg. 51 of The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller "Students will read if we give them the books, the time, and the enthusiastic encouragement to do so. If we make them wait for the one unit a year in which they are allowed to choose their own books and become readers, they may never read at all. To keep our students reading, we have to let them." ~ pg. 177 of The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller
