This book was released on 2014 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students are taught how to read, but that does not always lead to a desire to want to read. Motivating students to want to read is a challenge teachers face every day. In an educational world driven by standardized test scores, fewer English teachers incorporate sustained silent reading into the regular part of their curriculum. Teachers have mixed feelings when it comes to whether or not sustained silent reading is an effective strategy to use amidst the pressures of teaching to the standards. Some students may be provided sustained silent reading time, but not use it appropriately, or demonstrate a lack of motivation to participate in the act of reading silently. Frustrated teachers who are not sure how to approach these problems, may decide, as a result, to give very little class time, or none at all, to reading for pleasure. Most reading that students do is required reading assigned by an instructor. Few adolescents choose to read outside of school. Thus, teachers want to know how to increase students' motivation to read. The purpose of this work was to investigate the value of providing a dedicated time for sustained silent reading during the school day in order to increase reading motivation and the promotion of reading enjoyment. Additionally, the role and impact of the teacher during and between those reading sessions, and the different structures of sustained silent reading implemented during the dedicated time were evaluated for their effect on students' reading motivation. The intent of this research was to use the results and analysis of the study to determine if the various processes used will facilitate reading motivation in high school students. The participants of the study were 31 College Preparatory English 12 students at Elk Grove High School. Three different sources of data were collected and analyzed. The researcher developed a 13-question reading interest survey to discover the students' attitudes about reading and about sustained silent reading in school. The researcher implemented a structured, once a week, independent reading program. Halfway through the study, the researcher conducted a whole class interview to find out how the students are feeling about the reading program, and whether student participation in this program relates to increased reading motivation. The study concluded with a 16 question post-survey to capture the students' views of the reading, the independent reading program, and their reading motivation. As a result of the implementation of the sustained silent reading program, most students enjoyed reading during the school day. Student interest in reading at school increased because reading for pleasure now worked in their busy schedules, and it was a consistent routine the students came to expect and enjoy. The students preferred having free choice in what to read, and appreciated the elimination of a grade or project associated with the completion of independent reading. The importance of having access to a classroom library, and teacher and peer recommendations and modeling seem to impact students' willingness to read. It can be concluded that a one-day-a-week sustained silent reading program can affect students' willingness and motivation to read for pleasure.

Book excerpt: TEACH YOUR STUDENTS TO READ WITH PRECISION AND INSIGHT The world we are preparing our students to succeed in is one bound together by words and phrases. Our students learn their literature, history, math, science, or art via a firm foundation of strong reading skills. When we teach students to read with precision, rigor, and insight, we are truly handing over the key to the kingdom. Of all the subjects we teach reading is first among equals. Grounded in advice from effective classrooms nationwide, enhanced with more than 40 video clips, Reading Reconsidered takes you into the trenches with actionable guidance from real-life educators and instructional champions. The authors address the anxiety-inducing world of Common Core State Standards, distilling from those standards four key ideas that help hone teaching practices both generally and in preparation for assessments. This 'Core of the Core' comprises the first half of the book and instructs educators on how to teach students to: read harder texts, 'closely read' texts rigorously and intentionally, read nonfiction more effectively, and write more effectively in direct response to texts. The second half of Reading Reconsidered reinforces these principles, coupling them with the 'fundamentals' of reading instruction—a host of techniques and subject specific tools to reconsider how teachers approach such essential topics as vocabulary, interactive reading, and student autonomy. Reading Reconsidered breaks an overly broad issue into clear, easy-to-implement approaches. Filled with practical tools, including: 44 video clips of exemplar teachers demonstrating the techniques and principles in their classrooms (note: for online access of this content, please visit my.teachlikeachampion.com) Recommended book lists Downloadable tips and templates on key topics like reading nonfiction, vocabulary instruction, and literary terms and definitions. Reading Reconsidered provides the framework necessary for teachers to ensure that students forge futures as lifelong readers.
