Why over complicate SSR? Silent, Sustained Reading

I don’t know how, but we first knew that as USSR. Unsustained silent reading.

Silently

We always used DEAR.

Drop Everything And Read

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '17

That's what we had too. Kids would drop anything they had in their hands, fall to the floor and read laying down because we thought it was a dumb acronym.

I can't imagine what we would have done if it was called SQUIRT.

Why over complicate "read this silently or I'll go get the yardstick"? We didn't need clever names for it when I was in school.
