My daughter’s online English class is reading Lois Lowry’s The Giver out loud in class currently. Same like regular school- kids have to read from the text when called on.
My daughter had to read it on her own in the sixth grade and hates it. I told her, “at least this time you don’t have to read it. This time you just have to listen to the worst possible audiobook version!”
This sort of shit is exactly why my daughter hates reading books for pleasure. She’s a good reader too, but school has made her totally uninterested in any literature that isn’t a graphic novel or manga.
