staunch proponent of this. I also think that the joy of reading is taken from kids by school
Also, you don't need to read books in order to "read properly". You could read an informative or scientific article, you could read gossip from a magazine. The act of reading has been so diversified nowadays. It could take different forms and we must look for ways to take advantage of that democratization. Of course I would love it if people picked up a book, but I don't think you should stop there in order to read everyday and exercise your mind. Its importance relies on the conscience of the act, and like with anything ever, being present while doing it, whatever that looks like to you
I went through a phase where I read at parties bc I loved reading drunk but then too many people called me Rory Gilmore so I stopped
idk who else had this in their elementary school but there was a literal program used to calculate how much a kid would real called reading counts
and at my school if you had like 1M you were ELITE
the "read 2 pages" thing is so true... "Over time, a pot will fill up from just a dripping tap." - idk who said that but its one of my fave quotes
I love reading and wish I could read high because I feel like it would accentuate the imagery but I literally just get caught up and take like 10 min per page
