"Everyone is a reader . . . Some just haven't found their favorite book yet"
Research illustrates that for every 100,000 words read, a person's vocabulary increases by 50 percent. The average person can read 250 to 300 words per minute. A teen reading 10 minutes a day, therefore, could increase his or her vocabulary skills tremendously in just over three weeks. That's a pretty amazing literacy leap when you consider that it means reading for just 10 minutes a day.
