"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

Reading issues to consider:

Adapted from Reading and the Secondary School Library Program by Pam Berger, 2008

Page 38: Session 3 ppt draft

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?

Page 39: Session 3 ppt draft

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.

Reading Motivational Sites

Page 56: Session 3 ppt draft

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:

Page 57: Session 3 ppt draft

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

Things to consider when planning reading motivation activities:

Page 58: Session 3 ppt draft

The PortaPortal has many helpful sites for reading motivation:

Page 59: Session 3 ppt draft

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

Reading Motivation Activity:

Page 60: Session 3 ppt draft

And this means teachers will have to stretch as well!

Today’s students need to go beyond the traditional information literacy skills.

Page 61: Session 3 ppt draft

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

Is the time right for you?
