This document discusses conducting research to determine the correlation between time spent reading English books and student achievement on the English language portion of standardized tests. It proposes collecting reading time data from students over half a year and administering an English test to analyze the relationship. If a positive correlation is found, the document suggests schools may consider designating more mandatory reading time for students, such as an after-school reading lesson. It notes reading is one of several factors that can improve English and does not account for the difficulty level of books students read.
