I was given a study today regarding reading minutes and the link to standardized testing.  Students who read at least 20 minutes per day typically score in the 90th percentile on standardized testing, students who read 5 minutes per day typically score in the 50th percentile on standardized testing and students who read 1 minute per day typically score in the 10th percentile or below.  I showed this data to my students today but I think they had a hard time understanding percentile.  I just explained to them the more they read the better they will do on testing.
