The ability of the child to question, to find form and order, to rethink and restructure, and to find new relationships with knowledge at hand needs to be encouraged. Optimal reading occurs when it is fun and the individual is challenged to the limits of their state. It occurs when the challenge is matched to the child’s knowledge and skills.
