Laura, My students and I recently published an article in which we review some of the research on reading motivation and then suggest some easy-to-implement, tested ways to motivate students to read. It is entitled, "Reading Incentives That Work: No-Cost Strategies to Motivate Kids to Read and Love It!" and appears in the May 2009 issue of School Library Media Activities Monthly (vol. XXV, no. 9, pp 27-31). I hope it is of help to you. Ruth V. Small, Ph.D. Laura J. & L.

I don't, but I'm sure that at least one of you do! Specifically, he's trying to show that reading just about anything can create a reader, it's not just "Literature" that can make that change happen. TIA for your help!
