The reality is that our students will not enjoy or connect with every text, but our task as professional educators is to help our students internalize strategies for persisting with and understanding texts. Information—and skill instruction is information—is power and armed with appropriate strategies our students are empowered to make their own decisions about which texts they will approach (or not) but that decision will be based on their goals and desired outcomes and not due to a lack of reading proficiency.
