awakeYesterday I ended my speech at the ALAN workshop (#alan12) with a revised reader bill of rights. It is based on the wonderful book, Better than Life by Daniel Pennac. Here it is:
1. Right to read YAL at any age
2. Right to read extensively instead of intensively
3. Right to CREATE NEW CANON
4. Right to read with their ears
5. RIGHT TO READ TRANSMEDIALLY
6. Right to read FREELY
7. Right to READ WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING
8. Right to read BELOW YOUR LEXILE
9. Right to READ BEYOND YOUR ATOS SCORE
10. RIGHT TO REDEFINE READING
