Strive for 45: Become a daily reader.

All students and future students should be reading on their own each day for 45 minutes. The brain is a muscle-it needs to work-out to grow, improve, and stay healthy.

Research out of Harvard University suggests that students who read, on average, for 45 minutes every day score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests.

Remember: Practice isn't something you do once you are good at something. Practice is what you do to get good at something! Practice your reading today and every day!
