Chapter Three Anna Keith

Kelly Gallagher in Chapter 3 of “How Schools Are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It” Readicide focus on how important reading is as far as quality and quantity of time is concerned. However, there is a further, very important reason why students generally failed at learning to love to read. Educational researchers have found that there is a strong correlation between reading and academic success. In my opinion, a student who is a good reader is more likely to do well in school and pass exams than a student who is a weak reader. Gallagher talked about the need to give appropriate time to reading and being able to do what I have termed as “complete reading,” (i.e. the entire book not just an assigned chapter). It is my opinion, that this chapter really gives form to the overall topic entitled: Readicide.
