Answer 1

- Reading for 20 minutes every day exposes students to nearly 1.8 million words each school year.
- Children who read 5 or less minutes a day are more likely to score lower on reading tests.

Both directly support the claim that daily reading improves reading ability (one shows increased exposure to words, the other shows poor outcomes with very little reading).
