Read Comprehension-Champions Read!

Scientists excitedly revealed news yesterday that is sure to make the nation’s readers happy — readers become champions at everything they try.

Professor Brayne Storm announced, ‘We have long suspected that champions read, but it took a six year study to prove it. Now we have data to establish conclusively that readers out-perform non-readers in every task demanded of them.”

President of Alliance of Non-Readers, Ima Twitte, denounced the study. ” This is a typical waste of the tax-payers money. Ask any bloke in the street and he will tell you that reading is a waste of time. Nowadays I can learn whatever I want from Tv. I’ve have never been a reader, and look at me – I have a great job in the fast food industry, and I know lots of stuff, Phooey to readers.”

Despite what Mr. Twitte says, children across the nation are turning to reading as a fantastic way to learn and entertain themselves.
