(Reason #2 of 3,487,659) Many students do not have a regular time in a quiet space at home for uninterrupted reading. SSR may be the only time and place in the day for many students to have the chance to focus on reading a good book, without all the usual noise, distractions and interruptions. Hopefully many more students have that opportunity at home, too. But for those that don’t, we need to be sure to give them that opportunity at school!
