Reading Motivation
What is reading motivation? How is it different from reading
instruction? What is the special role of the library
program and the librarian?
WHY?
“We have libraries filled with books, yet many students who enter our media centers are aliterate; they have the ability to read but choose not to. Learn best practices for reaching these students. The number of aliterate students far outnumber the number of illiterate students in the later grades.”Patrick Jones, Author
“Reading ability is positively correlated with the extent to which students read recreationally.”
National Center for Education Statistics
http://nces.ed.gov/
Reluctant Readers say:
"I don't read because it is boring." --boy, age 15
“I usually don't read because it gives me headaches trying to focus my eyes on the words.” –boy, age 14
“I don't really have time to read during school days and I don't really know which books are worth reading.” –girl, age 15 Adapted from Power Point presented by Patrick Jones at AASL 2005
These teens did not develop their attitude toward reading
overnight.
We need to catch our students in elementary and middle
school and nurture them as readers.
What attracts reluctant readers?
Non-fiction (especially boys) Graphics White space Freedom of choice Thin (no page number
requirements) Audio books Magazines Online format Web 2.0 – Social networking
Reading issues to consider:
Gender English Language Learners Reader Behavior Teacher Behavior Technology School Climate Skill Development Confidence

Reflect:
• What are the common elements present among all of the reading issues?• What common strategies can be used to address these issues?• What is the librarian’s role in addressing these issues?
Your Task:
Choose an issue: Gender, ELL, Reader Behavior, Teacher Behavior, Technology, School Climate, Skill Development, Confidence
Discuss (in your group) What is the reading issue? What strategies/methods have worked?
Brainstorm new strategies What is the role of the librarian in
addressing the issue? One person from each table share out.NYC School Library System NYC DOE,

Things to consider when planning reading motivation activities:
Who is the target audience and what are the reading issues that need to be addressed?
What kind of activity? How does this activity connect with
what’s currently going on in the school?
What are the materials that you need?
Things to consider when planning reading motivation activities:
Estimated cost (if any)? Where will the money come from? Who are the other key players
involved in rolling this activity out?
What impact do you expect to see and how will you measure it?
How will you “brand it” or make it stick? Tween to Teen New Yorkers Read
Reading Motivation Activity:
Plan two reading motivational activities:1. Plan a small group activity2. Plan a school-wide campaign
Integrate some use of technology into each of the activities Use this time to explore the sites I have
introduced you to Share with group
Today’s students need to go beyond the traditional information literacy skills.
And this means teachers will have to stretch as
well!
Is the time right for you?
May not be ready right now But need to know what is out there Don’t plunge ahead just to be ahead But do think about how you could use
one of these techniques to teach better Start slowly; choose one When have reached comfort level on
one, consider another technique
Thanks for coming…
Please complete the evaluation before you leave…I hope these sessions have been beneficial.
Please make sure to schedule a visit. Don’t hesitate to e-mail me with questions. Use NYCSLIST to request help from your
