Default Re: "is not reading" is what?

I'm not a teacher, but after thinking about this for several minutes, I think I'd go with Anglika. The reason is that phrase right now, which carries a sense of absolute immediacy and urgency, and so in a negative construction like this one, it implies that the situation is about to change soon.
