How much should my child read each day?

It depends on the goal, but even 20–30 minutes a day adds up to dozens of books a year. Enter a yearly book goal and this tool shows the daily pages and minutes to get there.

Does daily reading really make a difference?

Yes — regular reading is one of the strongest drivers of vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. Small, consistent daily reading beats occasional long sessions.

What if my child resists reading?

Start small, let them pick books they enjoy, and keep it low-pressure. If reading is a struggle, a tutor can build fluency and confidence so it feels less like a chore.

Why it works

A page a day builds a reader

Big reading goals feel out of reach; “15 minutes tonight” doesn’t. Breaking a yearly goal into a small daily habit is how casual readers become strong ones — and strong readers do better across every subject.
