A student who reads 20 minutes per day
will be exposed to 1.8 million words per year and is more likely to score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests

will be exposed to 282,000 words per year and is more likely to score in the 50th percentile on standardized tests
A student who reads 1 minute per day
