Read-i-cide n: The systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools. Reading is dying in our schools.
Everything by Kelly Gallagher is a fantastic teaching resource! But this specific text, is a fantastic job of problematizing the hatred of reading for many students that ends up stemming from the American Public School system. This book gets educators thinking about how to cultivate life long readers starting in their classroom. I highly recommend this read for teachers, parents, librarians, and anyone who wants to know how to encourage reluctant readers without killing their drive for learning.
