If I saw my son reading like that I would be amazed too.Not because he doesn’t read, but because he has so much reading to do for school (HS junior). Each semester he has to read 2 or 3 books for literature, 2 or 3 books for social studies, history text, science text, math text, and 4 or 5 books and many online articles for his research paper. My daughter (3rd grade) has a reading log she has to fill out and return every week (signed by a parent) requiring 15 to 20 minutes of reading every day.
