“A book is a source of knowledge”, “a book is the best friend” - these statements are familiar to everyone, and it would be strange to challenge them in the annotation. But what to do if your child does not want to be friends with literature, hates essays and brings home low grades? How to instill a love of reading without violence against the individual? We get scared when children fight back against Russian writers - but why? And how can you overcome these fears? What is the first thing parents should change about themselves? And why do those born in the 21st century need the rustle of paper pages? Teacher of Russian language and literature, author of the educational website “Mel” Rimma Rappoport has been looking for answers to these questions all her life. She knows how difficult it can be, and as a child growing up in a family of writers; and as a teacher in a modern school; and as a parent. “Read I Don’t Want” is the quintessence of a caring approach to education, coupled with common sense, the experience of dozens of teachers and the pressing problems of children choosing between Blok and TikTok. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
