3. Aliteracy
• 15% of all 4th graders read no faster than 74
words per minute, a pace at which it would be
difficult to keep track of ideas as they are
developing within the sentence and across the
page.
• When the State of Arizona projects how many
prison beds it will need, it factors in the
number of kids who read well in fourth grade.

5. Media Use
Altogether, children between the ages of 8 and
10 spend about 5.5 hours each day using
media — eight hours if you count the
additional media consumed while
multitasking.

6. Factor 1: Schools develop test
takers instead of readers.
Factor 2: Schools limit
authentic reading
experiences.
Factor 3: Teachers overteach
books.
Factor 4: Teachers underteach
books.
