Children read more when they see other people reading.
Not one poor reader reported a lot of pleasure reading.
Children who are readers will develop acceptable levels of literacy.
Free voluntary reading results in better reading comprehension, writing style, vocabulary, spelling, and grammatical development
If children read 1 million words in a year, atl least 1,000 words will be added to their vocabulary.
Those who read in a second language write and spell better in that language.
