The article focuses on the decline in sustained, in-depth reading among students and adults, highlighting its impact on higher education. It presents data showing a decrease in the number of full books assigned in high schools and a drop in adult book readership and reading proficiency in the United States. The author reflects on efforts to address this trend, including a college course designed to emphasize the value of close, attentive reading, and suggests that renewed preparatory reading programs may be necessary due to changes in K-12 education. The piece underscores concerns about the future of academic literacy if the importance of reading entire texts is not reinforced. [Extracted from the article] |
