"Why should I read?" Can your students answer that question? Do
they have trouble seeing the importance that reading may have in
their lives? Are they lacking motivation, both in academic and
recreational reading? Do you think you can effectively teach
reading strategies if students don't understand the benefits of
literacy?
In "Reading Reasons, " Kelly Gallagher offers a series of
mini-lessons specifically tailored to motivate middle and high
school students to read, and in doing so, to help them understand
the importance and relevance reading will take in their lives. This
book introduces and explains in detail nine specific "real-world"
reasons why students should be readers.
The book contains forty practical, classroom-tested and
reproducible mini-lessons that get to the heart of reading
motivation and that can be used immediately in English (as well as
other content-area) classrooms. These easy-to-use motivational
lessons serve as weekly reading "boostershots" that help maintain
reading enthusiasm in your classroom from September through June.
The mini-lessons, ranging from five to twenty minutes in length,
hit home with adolescents, and in turn, enable them to internalize
the importance reading will play in their lives. Rather than
telling students reading is good for them, the lessons in this book
show them the benefits of reading.
