“Don't just teach your students to read. Teach them to question what they read, what they study. Teach them to doubt. Teach them to think.” ~ Professor Richard Feynman ~ Reading is not decoding.

It is a mystery to me why the obvious, most pleasant, least expensive, and probably the only effective way to improve reading ability, providing readers with access to interesting, comprehensible reading material, appears to be the last resort, and is often not even considered.

“You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything. You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking and by experimenting.” ~ Richard Feynman

This is the remote reading lesson I taught to my kindergartner yesterday. I am a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, and I could not correctly identify the "main idea" in this passage -- though the instructions assured us it was in there. Can you find it?
