A Teacher’s Tip: Fifteen Minutes a Day Makes a Difference
As a teacher, I would like to highlight the importance of being able to read in order to succeed in all subjects at school.
When children read little but often, the number of words they recognise grows rapidly, and decoding becomes automated. This means that pupils no longer have to devote all their energy to sounding out words and can instead focus entirely on understanding the content of the book. Just 15 minutes of reading at home each day builds the stamina and extensive vocabulary needed to achieve classroom goals. Let us celebrate this global day of reading by giving our children the very best conditions for success throughout their education. Fifteen minutes a day makes all the difference.
