The Joy of Reading
Tuesday’s theme is books, apparently. Today, we are talking about how kids are burnt out from reading books in school.
The article talks about how students are finding little time for pleasure reading and how the books that are “required” for school do not cater to all students interests. I am glad to say that I go to a school where we are not required to read certain books to pass. We do read in class but not as much as other schools.
Not having to read required books has made reading more fun for me. I know get to choose what I want to read and most of the books I do read are probably not going to be taught in a high school english class. I think all teenagers need to admire Abbey Becker for expressing our thoughts on reading in class how we could not. Via Blog of a Bookslut.
