Abstract	This article explores how literary study engages readers' moral perception and imagination. Although some philosophers discuss reading as a largely solitary activity, this article explores social practices of reading common in English language arts classrooms in secondary schools. The article shows how reading with others can change the quality of moral perception and imagination in literary study. Reading with others, the article contends, can involve an ethic focused on the good of knowing one's ways of seeing make a difference to others. The article defends social practices of reading by arguing they can broaden and complicate students' moral perception and imagination by making students accountable to texts, one another, and the wider world.
