Motivation Matters (Guthrie & Humenick, 2004)
Motivational Instructional Practice #1: Content Goals A content goal is a question or purpose for reading. It emphasizes the importance of and increases interest in learning from what we read. (Guthrie & Humenick, 2004)
Instructional Practice #2: Support Student Autonomy Provide opportunities for students to select which text they read, select partners or groups, or to work alone. Student autonomy refers to students making instructional decisions for themselves. (Guthrie & Humenick
Instructional Practice #3: Use Interesting Texts (Guthrie & Humenick, 2004)
Instructional Practice #4: Increase Collaboration During Reading Collaboration increases the number of opportunities struggling readers have to respond. (Guthrie & Humenick, 2004)
