Hypothesis
High school students who read recreationally on a daily basis have higher standardized test scores.
Overview of Experiment
Volunteers will take a standardized test before the beginning of the experiment. Then, for a period of three weeks groups will have a scheduled reading program. Groups will either not read on a daily basis, for 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. We will ask that they provide material they have read as a determination of whether they have completed the program or not. After completion of the program, participants will take another standardized test to compare to their scores on the pretest as well as those of other students. Results will be determined not only comparing scores to those of other students, but
