TARGET: MID & SEC : encouraging reading of non-fiction

[The Carpenters <davidcarp@FIRSTVA.COM>]

Netters,
Does anyone have any creative “reading incentive programs” or other
strategies to encourage the reading of non-fiction at the middle and high
school levels?  I’m delaying the posting of a hit on a broader target I sent
out until I get a couple more responses.  Maybe you do something oriented
towards biographies, magazine reading, or newspaper reading?  What about
targeting gifted students for extended readings in science or other areas of
interest?

TIA,
