Readicide

            I plan on reading the book “Readicide: How Schools are Killing Reading and what you can do about it.” After looking at all the different books, this one looked especially interesting. I love reading and it would be very interesting to learn why students are having a hard time learning to read and what I could do as a future teacher to aid them in furthering their reading skills. I read the short review on Amazon and I thought it was very interesting how he said that “it is time to recognize a new and significant contributor to the death of reading: our schools.” I already agree with this because schools are taking away the love of reading for children and replacing it with monotonous text reading that discourages the child. I hope that after reading this book I will gain insight on how to become a better teacher of reading to my children and how to spur them to have a lifelong love of reading.
