| In this age of information overload, teaching can sometimes feel like a perpetual struggle to adapt to trends and changes without letting go of our own core pedagogical commitments and the value of our own experiences. A great example of this is the challenge of engaging students in reading when all the headlines and sound bytes tell us this is a losing battle. In this brief essay, “True, Students Are Reading Less. But that doesn’t mean we can’t do anything about it,” David Kirby encourages us to use our powers of persuasion and positive messaging to invite students back into the transformative experience of reading. |
