A lot of what's considered important to read is opinion. Students today probably don't read as much because of all the smart phones, electronic gadgets and games available.
"Finally, it is worth noting that just because the books students are being assigned to read are less complex than in prior years, this does not necessarily mean that they cannot read or comprehend books at higher levels, nor can we assume that assigning more complex texts would necessarily lead to improvements in achievement. Related, a books difficulty level is not an indication of quality. Our point in presenting this overview is not to imply that the books students are assigned today are less valuable than those assigned decades ago."
Kids just don't read. They look at electronic gizmos. My grandsons are smart kids but they would never read a novel on their own.
While many may disagree, I think the most influential individual of the 20th and 21st Century when it comes to getting kids to read is J.K. Rowling!!!
I don't see a problem with this
I read Julius Caesar too
i.e. Caesar's Commentaries in the 5th grade
Obsessed with JC

Shut off the power and hide the lithium batteries, and have a stack of good reading material handy for the next time your power goes out in a storm. Or pick out a couple of good books and take the grandkids with you on your next doctor or dentist appointment.
Just because a child doesn't like to read doesn't mean that they won't learn to enjoy it as they get older. My best friend is an avid reader now, but hated it as a child. I didn't start to enjoy reading until the 7th grade.
