Readicide: How Schools Are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It

by Kelly Gallagher
PRMS paperback 118 pages
genre: professional, education

I finally finished the last ten pages . . . after starting it last fall. Incredible book. Should be mandatory reading for all English / language arts teachers. I hate that we as educators often have the opposite effect than what we desire! Instead of creating lifelong readers, we kill the love of reading. Fantastic book with practical advice. There's a fine distinction between under & over teaching literature. Free reading "in the flow" is crucial! Loved it.
