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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 教育家们都很清楚许多导致阅读衰败的因素---贫困、第二语言问题和不断膨胀的电子娱乐。在这本激发人心的新书中，Kelly Gallagher证明了现在美国学校正在积极的（尽管是在不知不觉中）促使读书量的下降并概述了具体步骤来反转这种读书螺旋式下降的趋势。 自杀式阅读 名词：对阅读热情的系统性扼杀，经常会由于学校中空洞的、使大脑麻木的练习而恶化。阅读已经在学校中消亡了。教育家们都很清楚许多导致阅读衰败的因素--贫困、第二语言问题和不断膨胀的电子娱乐。在这本激发人心的新书中，Kelly Gallagher建议，是时候该认识到一种新的且重要的导致阅读消亡的因素：那就是学校。在《阅读的扼杀》一书中，Kelly证明了现在美国学校正在积极的（尽管是在不知不觉中）促使读书量的下降。具体地说，他主张许多学校使用的标准的教学方法正在以下几方面扼杀阅读：
•重视考生的发展而非终生阅读者的发展；
•在教学中只注重广度而缺乏深度；
•没有适当的教学支持就要求学生读较难的文章；
•坚持强调学生应该只注重学术文献；
•许多著作中都充满了便利贴、条目期刊和注释；
•忽视了消遣式阅读发展的重要性；
•在政治压力的阴影下失去了真实的教学方法；
Kelly并不仅仅是指出了问题。《阅读的扼杀》一书还提供给教师、文学老师和行政管理人员具体的步骤来反转这种读书螺旋式下降的趋势---以及帮助阻止下一代读者流失的方法。(LNL)
