ABSTRACT

Gallagher (2009) describes a recipe for killing the joy of reading for adolescent learners:

Kill-a-reader Casserole

✓ Take one large novel. ✓ Dice into as many pieces as possible. ✓ Douse with sticky notes. ✓ Remove book from oven every ! ve minutes and insert worksheets. ✓ Add more sticky notes. ✓ Baste until novel is unrecognizable, far beyond well done. ✓ Serve in choppy, bite-sized chunks.
