"'Reading is a provocative act; it makes things happen.'
It is a fact of our psychological make-up that we cannot read anything without experiencing some kind of response. If we are forced to read as a duty, expecting no delight, we are likely to find it a boring business. We cannot easily read for ourselves what we haven't heard said. Some people say they don't like reading stories, but I've never come across anyone who doesn't like hearing one."
For Chambers, reading is a life-enhancing occupation, not a pastime. Drawing memorably on his own experience as a teacher and a reader, he offers a multitude of stimulating ideas for opening the rewards of thoughtful reading to all children.
