question? It usually comes from our most disengaged students like
the class clown or the student who struggles to read and write at
grade-level. Sometimes we hear it from a student who cries of
boredom or one who is angry or apathetic. When we don't know what
else to try, it's easy to become frustrated and give up on these
challenging learners. But take heart! Author Cris Tovani has spent
her career figuring out how to entice challenging students back
into the process of learning. In Why Do I Have to Read This? Cris
Tovani shares her best secrets, lessons learned from big fails, and
her most effective literacy and planning strategies that hook these
hard to get learners. You will meet many of Cris's students inside
this book. As she describes some of her favorites, you may even
recognize a few of your own. You will laugh at her stories and take
comfort in her easily adaptable strategies that help students
remove their masks of disengagement. Cris shows teachers how to
plan by anticipating students' needs. Her Curriculum You Anticipate

of connecting students to compelling topics, rich text, useful
targets, and worthy tasks. She reminds us of the importance of
tending to students' basic needs and helps us consider how to best
structure instructional time. After reading this book, teachers
