I think that's a bit too cynical. And I am a dyed-in-the-wool cynic. :) I
have had a lot of exposure to Gen-Z reading and comp classes between my
kiddos (college freshman, high school junior and freshman). *What* the
younger generation chooses to read is vastly different than what we read,
and they consume it differently, but reading comprehension is strong in
GenZ.
