I completely agree with this sentence in chapter 2. Many teachers are trying all the wrong things when they try to "teach" their students how to read. However, we need to be teaching them that struggling with a text is okay and everyone, no matter how good of a reader you are, struggles with different texts. Teachers need to let their students read to give them the stamina to read longer and better texts. Finally, this will eventually lead the students to having that stamina and giving them the opportunity to enjoy different texts, without having to struggle through them.
