Creating and Sustaining Readers Naked reading Teri S. Lesesne Sam Houston State University Department of Library Science
Here is the real problem… People are so desperate to raise test scores that we could well end up with a nation full of kids who can pass tests but can neither read critically nor enjoy the act of reading itself. P. David Pearson February 2003
Why Naked Reading? • A naked child • A drive with an author • Some great research findings • A late night inspiration
The research? • Vickey Giles, 2006 • Karen Sue Gibson, 2003 • Replicating Livaudais, 1982
The questions? • What could someone do BEFORE you read to make you WANT/HATE to read? • What could someone do AFTER you read to make you WANT/HATE to read?
The late night inspiration? T-A-R-G-E-T
T-A-R-G-E-T • TRUST • ACCESS • RESPONSE • GUIDANCE • ENTHUSIASM • TWEEN AND TEEN APPEAL

WE NEED TO BE THE EXPERTS OR WE RUN THE RISK OF PROGRAMS TAKING OVER TRUST
TO DO THIS: WE NEED NEW RULES
NEW RULES • You have the right to read the last chapter first. • You have the right to read the last chapter first and then put the book back on the shelf. • You have the right to refuse to read any book where you don't like the picture of the author.
NEW RULES • You have the right to ignore all critics. • You have the right to read the book spine of the person sitting next to you, even on a plane. And if you can't make it out, you have the right to ASK. • You have the right to stop reading a book whenever you decide it's not worth the effort, or that you simply don't like it. • You have the right to refuse to read any book anyone else picks out for you. Even if it's a birthday present.
You have the right to ignore all of these rules and do whatever you please as long as it's civil. When you find that you're dawdling on your way back to a book, ditch it.
Finally… You have the right to read a book and not take a test or create a diorama or write a report or do ANYthing.
