Quote reblogged from fluoxetine wishes and methylphenidate dreams with 2,069 notes

Both classes were given literacy tests before summer vacation and again when they returned in the fall. Sure enough, the students who chose their own books did better, improving from the previous summer. Those in the community program showed no improvement.

Let me repeat that for you.

KIDS WHO CHOSE THEIR OWN BOOKS DID BETTER.

They wanted to read. They were eager to read. And when they read, they got better at reading.

“You become a lifelong reader when you’re able to make choices about the books you read, and when you love the books you read,”

Well, no shit.
