Readicide

In "Readicide: How Schools Are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It," Kelly Gallagher explores the alarming decline of reading in American schools, attributing it to counterproductive educational practices. He argues that standard methods prioritize test preparation over fostering a genuine love for reading, emphasize breadth over depth, and neglect recreational reading altogether. Gallagher offers practical solutions for educators and administrators to revitalize reading for today’s students and prevent the loss of future generations of readers.
