Reading is more than just a process. It is primarily the communication of ideas and content. We want our children not merely to read well, but to be well-read. Reading for entertainment is distinguished from reading for edification.The goal is not to appeal to the flesh, but to stimulate and cultivate the mind with material which is not merely clever, but insightful. Literature is selected which promotes insight into the human condition and situation. It manifests and causes readers to contemplate issues and responses in which humans find themselves so that they might wisely respond to similar situations in their own lives or respond to their neighbors in love.
