From the Publisher: Read-i-cide n: The systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools. Reading is dying in our schools. Educators are familiar with many of the factors that have contributed to the decline-poverty, second-language issues, and the ever-expanding choices of electronic entertainment. In this provocative new book, Kelly Gallagher suggests, however, that it is time to recognize a new and significant contributor to the death of reading: our schools. In Readicide, Kelly argues that American schools are actively (though unwittingly) furthering the decline of reading. Specifically, he contends that the standard instructional practices used in most schools are killing reading by: valuing the development of test-takers over the development of lifelong readers; mandating breadth over depth in instruction; requiring students to read difficult texts without proper instructional support; insisting that students focus solely on academic texts; drowning great books with sticky notes, double-entry journals, and marginalia; ignoring the importance of developing recreational reading; and losing sight of authentic instruction in the shadow of political pressures. Kelly doesn't settle for only identifying the problems. Readicide provides teachers, literacy coaches, and administrators with specific steps to reverse the downward spiral in reading-steps that will help prevent the loss of another generation of readers.… (mer)

There is probably nothing terribly surprising her for English teachers who have devoted any serious thought or analysis to the state of their profession. Nonetheless, Mr. Gallagher raises some important points, and with the the requisite amount or moral outrage at the general stupidity and tedium of contemporary English instruction in United States classrooms. Recommended.

Excellent information, makes an excellent case for why current education practices are killing students' interest in reading.
Lots of useful strategies to help students become better readers and develop lifelong readers ( )

This book has changed the way I think about teaching literature, which has drastically altered my overall philosophy about teaching English. Some of the ideas are radical, especially if you have a traditional view of what high school English should look like. But, like I tell my students at the end of the year: when I was a junior in high school, I didn't read a single book that was assigned. The books weren't interesting and the accompanying work was a joke. That was 20 years ago, AND I'd always been a strong reader. If I hadn't been a strong reader, I probably would have stopped reading for fun that year. ( )

Great book on how NCLB is ruining American students. Offers some practical advice to teachers on what they can do to create thinkers instead of test-takers.

It would have gotten 5 stars except Gallagher states that he will discuss assessment of the Articles of the Week in Chapter 5 and then doesn't. (At least as far as I can see.) I would like to know how he assesses them. ( )

In Readicide, Kelly argues that American schools are actively (though unwittingly) furthering the decline of reading. Specifically, he contends that the standard instructional practices used in most schools are killing reading by:
· valuing the development of test-takers over the development of lifelong readers;
· mandating breadth over depth in instruction;
· requiring students to read difficult texts without proper instructional support;
· insisting that students focus solely on academic texts;
· drowning great books with sticky notes, double-entry journals, and marginalia;
· ignoring the importance of developing recreational reading; and
· losing sight of authentic instruction in the shadow of political pressures.

Kelly doesn’t settle for only identifying the problems. Readicide provides teachers, literacy coaches, and administrators with specific steps to reverse the downward spiral in reading—steps that will help prevent the loss of another generation of readers.

A must read for anyone who cares about our young people and understands that reading is an essential skill that all other skills need as their base. ( )
