"No Time, No Interest, No Way!"

Remember Kylene Beer’s article, “No Time, No Interest, No Way! The 3 Voices of Aliteracy”?


I’m the no time person.

I want to read, but it’s hard for me to find time to read for pleasure these days. I now understand how my students feel.

Z feels the same way. He says that between basketball practice and heavy loads of homework, he has little time to read. He has been reading for pleasure for a few minutes during his 15 minute commute to school, but that’s hardly enough, if readers truly make leaders.
