                     How many pages should I be reading for my 30 minutes of reading each night?

                     Each book has about 8-10 words per line and about 24 lines per page.  
                     So this works out to about 200 words per page as an average.
                     This will take about 2 minutes per page. (4th grade should read at 100 words per minute)  
                     Therefore you should have a minimum target of 15 pages for 30 minutes of reading.
