[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think novels are the only important kind of reading there is. In fact, learning close reading of other kinds of material might be more important as a life skill. (I did not read the Atlantic article- so no context). My kids read tons of novels at home, but also don’t enjoy dissecting novels in English class. I’m not sure I see a ton of value in it either. Maybe once a year to discuss point of view and how to engage a reader. But all other reading it important for life- how to critically read news, science, historical documents, etc. [/quote]
