But what is better? A kid who reads SOMETHING or a kid who reads nothing at all? Because sometimes that's the choice you have. If you read what I went throu gh with my attention difficulties - I actually developed a tick due to the str ess of trying to keep up with the rest of the class. You can't FORCE reading. A ll you will end up with is an adult who wants nothing to do with literature at all.

 Trying to define "reluctant readers"

I am somewhat opposed to the whole idea of finding books a "reluctant reade r" is willing to read. Reading is not supposed to be just about what a kid alread y knows, but about expanding horizons.
