Dear Jody,

I'm not sure what DRP is, that is, if it is "official" terminology or a
neat idea
you coined. In any case, for me as a teacher, DRP for an individual work is
associated
with interest in plot, difficulty (i.e. frustration) in reading, and ability
to connect
in a meaningful way with the text/theme/content through prior experience or
guided by
students or teacher. It's difficult to predict the DRP for some books;
others seem
to capture the abilities and interests of a wide-range of students: thus, a
very high DRP.
Perhaps we should be rating books by DRP.
Denee
