Time to Read

How can we find more time for silent reading?  In the Book Whisperer, it is suggested that students read whenever they can.  They read upon arrival to the classroom. They take books to assemblies and the picture day set up in case there is down time.  They always have a book at their desk ready to go.  When students are finished with an assignment, they know to read.  "If you finish your assignment earlier than others, should your reward be more work? ...What do adults do when they finish their work for the day?  They reward themselves by snuggling up with their books."

How can we find time for more independent reading in our school day?
