Claim: Reading is positively correlated to achieving higher academic grades.
People who read more out of class have better grades. The problem is, people are not reading much of the classics, but instead read more nonfiction books such as Harry Potter and Twilight.
Students scored higher on tests when they read more.--Source
Many people find books assigned in class boring and therefore choose not to read. Teachers should assign a bigger variety of books so students can enjoy reading.
Most readings habits are already established before a student enters college, so they are generally developed during high school.---Source

Your claim is clear and your audience appears to be students. The claim is definitely arguable because there is evidence that proves reading helps students score higher on tests. This provides for the "because" to your claim. You might want to get more evidence, such as statistics to prove that reading actually helps receive higher grades. Also, how are Harry Potter and Twilight hurting students?
