  22. Reading Motivation • What is reading motivation? • How is it different from reading instruction? • What is the special role of the library program and the librarian?

  23. WHY? “We have libraries filled with books, yet many students who enter our media centers are aliterate; they have the ability to read but choose not to. Learn best practices for reaching these students. The number of aliterate students far outnumber the number of illiterate students in the later grades.” Patrick Jones, Author

  24. “Reading ability is positively correlated with the extent to which students read recreationally.” National Center for Education Statistics http://nces.ed.gov/

  25. Reluctant Readers say: "I don't read because it is boring." --boy, age 15 “I usually don't read because it gives me headaches trying to focus my eyes on the words.” ­–boy, age 14 “I don't really have time to read during school days and I don't really know which books are worth reading.” ­–girl, age 15 Adapted from Power Point presented by Patrick Jones at AASL 2005

  26. These teens did not develop their attitude toward reading overnight. We need to catch our students in elementary and middle school and nurture them as readers.

  27. What attracts reluctant readers? • Non-fiction (especially boys) • Graphics • White space • Freedom of choice • Thin (no page number requirements) • Audio books • Magazines • Online format • Web 2.0 – Social networking

  30. Reflect: • What are the common elements present among all of the reading issues? • What common strategies can be used to address these issues? • What is the librarian’s role in addressing these issues?

  31. Your Task: • Choose an issue: Gender, ELL, Reader Behavior, Teacher Behavior, Technology, School Climate, Skill Development, Confidence • Discuss (in your group) • What is the reading issue? • What strategies/methods have worked? Brainstorm new strategies • What is the role of the librarian in addressing the issue? • One person from each table share out.
