  1. Donalyn Miller _ Reading in the Wild: The Book

    As Stephen Krashen and Joanne Ujiie {2005} assert, "Many people are fearful that if children engage in 'light reading,' if they read comics and magazines they will stay with this kind of reading forever, that they will never go on to more 'serious' reading. The opposite appears to be the case. The evidence suggests that light reading provides the competence and motivation to continue reading and to read more demanding texts" {p. 6}.
