Both are necessary

but I agree (and everything I learned from my reading masters as well as my own teaching experience) supports that fact that good readers read a lot. I read Reggie Routman's Reading Essentials about 3-4 years ago and found it to be completely true (as well as easy to implement!) Now that's a great book. Since moving the focus to independent reading practice (not saying it has to be SSR) I've had 98-100% of students reading at grade level by the end of the year. Now of course that's not all I do, we cover and practice plenty of skills and strategies, work on fluency w/ repeated readings and timings etc... but I KNOW that that time to practice is one of the main reasons they improve so much.
