      Schools approach literature in such a stuffy and formal manner too, they would probably make even the most interesting books a chore.

      We need to foster a better attitude towards reading, and that starts with letting kids enjoy the books they are reading.

      Exactly. Show them examples of lots of types of books. Include some types of SciFi and fantasy because that’s what a lot of enjoying reading. They always seem looked down on, but they shouldn’t be.
