Baiting the Reading Hook


The October issue of Educational Leadership has a great article entitled "Baiting the Reading Hook." There is a copy of it posted in the faculty lounge for your perusal.

One quote stood out of the article.
"Research has shown that high-achieving students read more than low achievers (Allington, 2006; Guthrie, 2008). To accelerate students' achievement in reading, literacy educators must ensure that striving readers are reading at least as much as their higher-achieving peers."

How can we accomplish this simplistic, yet crucial goal? The article offers some insights.
