"Fifteen Minutes a Day"--A Method of Improving Reading Skills.

Gronholm, Maj-Britt – Life and Education in Finland, 1990

Describes Finland's 15-minute method for improving reading skills. Parents are asked to read aloud to their kindergarteners 15 minutes daily, and children are also encouraged to read. Notes are sent between teachers and parents so teachers can provide support. Older students are encouraged to read and listen to younger ones. (SM)
