Because I am a middle school reading teacher, parents and colleagues often ask my advice about summer assignments. My reply is just like a hit song from the 1970s, Any love is good love. I tell them that any reading is good reading.
The data, however, shows that my opinion holds true only for the least experienced readers, who get knowledge every time they read. This age group is fast acquiring verbal (言语的) knowledge and world knowledge, even when they're reading comic books or simple stories. For them, usually age 8 or 9, any reading is indeed good reading.
But for students in middle school and high school, reading selection does matter. Reading literature should be intentional. The problem with much summer reading is that the intention is unclear. So what should students be asked to do? I advise focusing on nonfiction (非小说类文学作品) guaranteed to increase world and verbal knowledge.
As we rounded the corner into the tail end of eighth grade, I set out a number of these books for students to choose from. One student chose to read Hiroshima during her last two weeks of school. After a day or so, I checked with her. Although the eighth grade covered the dropping of the bomb in social studies, I wanted to be certain she could handle the material. I asked, "It's pretty ugly, isn't it?" She replied, "I feel more pity than ugly for these people, Ms Hollander." As the kid said, my_bad.
Another student chose A Long Way Gone about a child soldier. When I checked with him, he opened his computer, pointing out his home country on a map that showed places in which young men, including his father, had been forced into armed service. He reminded me that I cannot always expect what a book will say to a reader.
