Here in NYC, the standards (developed from the "New Standards" work in Pennsylvania) say that students must read 25 books (or book equivalents) every year, with a range of genres and authors. In my school (and lots of schools in NYC), we use reading and writing workshop, so kids do reading work in school (and at home), in independent books that are at their independent reading level. They also have small book clubs, and lots of read aloud, so there is plenty of opportunities for shared reading experiences and discussions.
