Computer games, video games, Internet, iPods, DVDs, CDs, texting,
social media, and surfing: No wonder reading has a hard time
competing for adolescents' attention. Research studies find that
interest in reading diminishes after the fourth grade and continues
through high school. Throw in a testing culture with all its drill
lessons and you still wind up with 50% of college freshman unable
to comprehend the textbooks. Whatever happened to motivation? You
can lead a horse to water, but... Motivating Teen and Preteen
Readers: How Teachers and Parents Can Lead the Way contains over
1,000 diverse, original, fun, creative, absurd, challenging
questions on reading that will inspire adolescent reading lives
from the inside out. The four books of questions contained in this
volume are designed to help kids help themselves find their ways to
a desire to read. Weekly questions, discussions, and raps, a
one-year journey into the worlds of reading compel preteens and
teens to face their demons peacefully and to re-create a passion
for reading, of course, with a little guidance from their friends:
teachers, parents, and this book. Check out some questions: - What
was the first book you remember reading by yourself? What thoughts
are triggered by this book? What feelings come back to you? - Think
of a word that makes you feel "good." Silently say the word over
and over again to yourself. Describe what you experienced. -
Athletes say they're in-the-zone when playing at their best.
Describe your reading when you're reading-in-the-zone. - Reading
everyday quietly changes your world. Explain. - Mind-pictures:
reading's little miracles. Explain
