I noticed (and 2 people wrote me) that the columns I attempted to format
on the reluctant reader characteristics did not "stay in columns" once I
posted.  To clarify, here are the comparisions of Avid Reader vs
Reluctant reader in a format that should not be confused:

AVID READERS
 Avid readers want to
1. Choose their own books
2. Have teacher read aloud a few pages
3. Meet the author
4. Buy books a t abook fair
5. Keep a reading journal
6. Go to the library
7. Participate in panel debates, small discussions or share books with a
friend.

Avid Readers DO NOT want to
1. Write book reports
2. Do many art activities
3. Hear the teacher read the entire book aloud.

RELUCTANT READERS
Reluctant readers want to:
1. Choose their own books from a narrowed choice.
2. Have teacher read aloud the entire book.
3. Compare movie to book.
4. Read illustrated books
5. Do art activiites based on books.
6. Read atypical nonfiction material.

Reluctant readers DO NOT want to:
1. Meet the author
2. Buy books a at a book fair
3. Go to the library
4. Read for a charity
5. Keep a reading journal
6. Participate in panel debates, small group discussions or share books
with a friend.
