97: 7 Dreadful Ways to Kill the Love of Reading
Today we are talking about the ways in which we kill the love of reading in our children and students. This episode is based on a very upsetting incident that occurred when I was reading with a group of fifth-graders recently. I hope you will join me.
The Seven Ways that We Unintentionally Destroy the Love of Reading for Children:
* Test Everything
* Eliminate Choice
* Use Reading as a Punishment
* Force Kids to Read
* Require Kids to Keep Reading Logs or Summaries
* Use Borning Programs
* Eliminate libraries
