[LM_NET] TARGET: Reading Incentives for Middle School

[Barbara Shapiro <SchnzrsGrl@AOL.COM>]

I am trying to find some reading incentives and ideas to get middle school  
students (grades 7-8) interested in using the library. Since I don't have  
regularly scheduled classes, teachers do sign up on occasion to bring the  
students to get outside reading books, book reports, or to check out books for  
research. I ordered a lot of really great books, but unlike my students in the  
lower grades, this age group does not show the same kind of enthusiasm. I have  
some ideas already to promote more outside reading, but would like to know what 
 works in your schools. THANKS
