Dear Group, On the issue of how to improve reading skills, especially the role the = role of pleasure reading, I can't recommend Stephen Krashen's work too = highly. His book, The Power of Reading (now out in a 2nd Endition) = summarizes the research supporting the achievement value of "fun = reading." It's great book. I heard him speak at a conference and he = was excellent there too. He is at the University of Southern California = and I bet would respond to requests for information about his work. I hope this is helpful.
