In essence, when it comes to learning, there is a lot that should be brought into consideration. However, I agree with your choice of the essential principles and also your entire discussion. For sure, while the ability to read is very vital in any form of learning, so is the fact that every learner is different and unique which is a factor that can never be disregarded. It is entirely accurate to say that there is no right or wrong way to teach provided the end goal is to impart the necessary skills to learners.
The question has always been how do you effectively teach reading to the fast and slow learners within the same class? I agree with you that there is no right or wrong here; however, teachers should not stick to the old ways of teaching that generalized learning. Finally, it is without a doubt that reading makes every part of our lives, we are all surrounded by things to read, from road signs to school rules and thus being able to read is very important.

While I agree with on the fact that reading should be fun, I believe the stimulus that you mentioned above, for instance, video games, TV shows, and films have essentially made learning more fun. Reading books and coursework in many cases becomes monotonous especially to the young learner and that why many educators incorporate stimulus such as films in their teaching to make it more fun.
Consequently, I too find the two principles you chose very vital to learning. First, reading is an essential part of all content area instruction. Two, it is crucial for learners to perceive reading as an enjoyable activity. Indeed, the ease and interest in reading are all psychological, if learners see it as enjoyable they will read more and make it and habit.
