Reading and Focus

I’m not surprised. Readers aren’t created in college. They are created at home long before anybody reaches college age.

It’s getting harder to raise readers because reading requires a capacity for deep focus. We need to put in daily work to protect and develop our children’s capacity to focus. Not only does it ensure a much better quality of life, it’s also going to be the highest paid skill on the job market because it will be rare.

  1. ” it’s also going to be the highest paid skill on the job market because it will be rare.”

    I agree completely. It is my prediction that by 2100 the majority of the population in the United States will be illiterate.
