reading time

Book session length

Reading time is the duration required to read something.

Publishers and websites often display estimated reading time to help readers gauge commitment: Reading time: 5 minutes.

The phrase also refers to a period set aside for reading, especially in schools: The class has thirty minutes of silent reading time each day.
