Hi, there
Should you say (a teacher talking to his class): “I’d like to make you a proposition to read more about this”, “I’d like to make a proposition TO you to read more about this” or “I’d like to make a proposition FOR you to read more about this”?
Thank you

All work. All rather cumbersome.
I’d like to make you a proposition to read more about this” - sounds sort of formal, but complicated
I'd like to propose that you ... (You'd like to. OK, so what is stopping you?)
I propose that you ... (Who is the boss?)
You are to .... (You are the boss)
Choose the one that best suits you and your relationship to them.
