Crockett Junior High

April is D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) Month, and Crockett Jr. High will be participating by dedicating one day a week for everyone to drop everything and read for 20 minutes. Research shows that reading for just 20 minutes each day can expose students to as many as 1.8 million words per year and help them achieve scores in the 90th percentile on standardized tests (Nagy, Anderson, and Herman, 1987). To support these efforts, we would like to involve parents by encouraging them to take 20 minutes for reading both in class and at home.
