Reading book enriches a person’s understanding about life. It may brought a reader into the most vicarious situation he/she might not be willing to be with in real life situations. It may seem that this generation has long passed the time where reading book is a recreational activity. I taught in secondary school, and mostly all of my lessons has something to do with literature.Students seems to find reading a tiring and boring task, they would rather watch movies or used Facebook than read. This attitude contribute to the reason why we have a poor education outcome. As an educator, it is a challenge to teach students who are disinterested towards reading selection. Most specially if the lesson to be taught has something to do with the selection itself. Do you concur?

As a writer, I am distressed whenever I hear someone say they don't like to read, especially a young person. As a teacher, I do all I can to encourage students to read. I'm convinced the trick is finding a book or books that feed the student's interest. This approach has worked for many years across many grade levels.
