[quote=Anonymous]It's possible that deeply attentive reading is just a minority pursuit by nature. Alan Jacobs [url=https://www.chronicle.com/article/We-Cant-Teach-Students-to/128400/]made that argument[/url], though I think there's a compelling [url=https://arcade.stanford.edu/blogs/alan-jacobs-and-rise-reading-class]counter-argument[/url]. Contra the "let them pick whatever they want!" argument, I've seen a compelling argument in many places that taste has to be caught and taught. Hand kids the books that you think are the absolute best at their level that are somewhat in their general interests and make the alternative boredom. Not sure it works perfectly, but it's definitely been the best thing for my not-naturally-inclined readers (2/3 of my kids).[/quote]
