Reluctant Readers
How do you engage the reluctant reader? First of all who is the reluctant reader. The majority of reluctant readers are males. This topic was addressed today at the MSUNER Conference at MSU. The following authors were recommended Andrew Clements, David Adler, and Dan Gutman. The Adler books are a series. Gutman also has books in a series. This is a way to 'hook" the reader and have them seeking out the familiar book. Let me know what you think.

Classroom teachers can use a reader reward system. Students will be motivated to read more if they are rewarded for it. For example a pizza hut certificate for reading an X amount of books, or an award for achievment. Students may give their own ideas on what to be rewarded if they chose a book and read it. They will feel their voices count, and obligated to read for fun and enjoyment and then get rewarded for it.
