The editorial concludes that programs that encourage children to read by paying them to read should be viewed with suspicion. This is supported by the claim that such programs might make children view reading as a chore rather than as something inherently satisfying and enjoyable.
The editorial assumes that viewing reading as a chore rather than as something inherently satisfying and enjoyable is negative. It thus assumes that children should be taught to find reading enjoyable and satisfying on its own, without external rewards.

This fails to address the assumption that reading programs should instill an enjoyment of reading rather than use money to motivate children to read. Also, we don’t know that children would choose easy books rather than challenging ones because of the program.

This fails to address the assumption that reading programs should instill an enjoyment of reading rather than use money to motivate children to read. Also, as far as we know, children might be choosing the books that they read whether the reading programs are in place or not.

Parents and teachers may have different effects on children’s love of reading, but the argument is only discussing the effects of the reading programs. We don’t know whether parents or teachers are more involved in these programs.

This strengthens the argument by addressing the assumption that reading programs should instill an enjoyment of reading rather than use money to motivate children. If this is the case, then the reading programs should indeed be viewed with suspicion.

This weakens the argument because, if the reading programs get children to read more books and reading more books will eventually get them to enjoy reading, then the programs do instill a love of reading in the end.
