Let's pretend you are a parent.  How can you ensure your child reads at least 20 minutes a day outside of the school?

What are your thoughts.

• Do you like to read?
• Do you feel you would be more enlightened on other subjects if you read more?
• Do you think you have 20 minutes you could use to read something other than a text or a Facebook posting?
• As an intern, can you tell the difference in your students that read outside the classroom?
• As an intern, can you tell a difference in the students who do their homework?
• If you could do it all over, would you take your studies more seriously?  Would you read more? 
• If you like to read, what do you like to read?
• If you don't like to read, how's it working out for you?
