Sustained independent reading is essential, especially for college prep. But for an actual amount is not in my thoughts important. I think the focus should be on the genre/literature type, period in literature or the author themselves. By this point students are reading to learn and not learning to read...time amounts are not the focus. Focus on the standards or objectives
