Chapter 17.... Motivating Students to Read
Many children do not like to read. One of my friends was even "forced" to read as punishment when she got in trouble, because her parents knew she hated it so much! While this might sounds like a strange form of torture, there may be better ways to get kids to read! Just like how we talked in class about introducing kids to books, whether it is by an author they already know and enjoy, or if it is a book we recommend because it deals with something we know that student may be dealing with. One of the biggest problems with students is they feel that reading is a chore, or obligation. Our role as teachers is to find a way to make reading a fun and enjoying experience. I always personally loved to read, and I hope I can share that love with future students.
