Children are no longer being encouraged to read for pleasure
Doesn't Rosen know that teaching reading is about far more than children getting lost in a book - it's about children being lost if they cannot lift the words off the page.Schoolchildren are taught to decode text, retrieve information and write grammatically correct sentences but they are no longer encouraged to lose themselves in a good story, Rosen said.
As a result, they read books without asking questions or relating the stories to their own feelings.
