So many teachers and parents have fallen in love with "twenty minutes a day" The average picture book read aloud is five to 10 minutes. How many of us have witnessed a parent trying to corral an active three year old to sit for one more story. I try to assure parents that the twenty minutes a day didn't need to be in a row.

If I recall from Reading Magic... Mem recommends three a day.
