• Reading 20 minutes--silent and sustained. The goal is the exercise your brain to concentrate on one thing for 20 minutes--one book. Pick a book and stick with it for 20 minutes. When you are struggling, take a breath, reread if you need to, think about what is happening and make sure it is making sense to you, and keep going. You should be able to read 20-50 pages in 20 minutes.
