What can teachers do when students simply won’t read?  How can we engage and motivate adolescents to read so that they can be successful in all their classes?

In this dynamic and interactive Web seminar, veteran teacher and young adult literature expert Lesesne will discuss how to get even the most reluctant readers interested in books.  In this hour, you’ll learn:

• How to identify and motivate reluctant readers
• Gender differences in reading
• The kinds of titles, covers, authors, and storylines that “hook” reluctant readers
• How to engage both able and struggling readers
• Strategies for selecting books with high interest and low readability
• How to use lexiles to choose titles for all readers
• Specific examples of books that work with reluctant readers
