Wild Reading by Donalyn Miller and Susan Kelly... Schools have traditionally emphasized the importance of reading, encouraging its practice and measuring students' proficiency through lessons and tests. However, this approach has often failed to achieve its intended goal: a love of reading. In fact, it has sometimes led to aversion to it. This book demonstrates how to cultivate essential habits that support lifelong reading—including setting aside time for reading and planning future reading—and how to forge emotional connections between the reader and the book, which are reflected in the reader's daily life. It helps teachers, parents, and students understand that the purpose of reading is not simply to pass exams, but to acquire knowledge and culture. It is truly a guide for any teacher who wants to instill in their students the lifelong habit of voracious reading.
