I think that both are important, but the first step is to get them hooked
on reading. If a student doesn't enjoy reading, reading classic
literature is going to probably even more "painful" to them. Once
students gain enjoyment from reading, then challenging them with the
classics and other higher levels of reading is a lot easier. This has
been my experience, at least. . .
