Several groups have been talking about how we can help motivate our young readers. Here are some of the great ideas discussed.
Goal Setting:
Have a card on their desk with their weekly or monthly goal. Conduct a mini-lesson on goals. What are some examples of different goals? Try a certain genre, try for a certain mount of at home reading. Here is a sample template.
Status of the Class:
The goal is to be able to monitor the pacing and text that children are engaging in during reading. After procedures are in place, Status of the Class should take about 2 minutes. As you call out each student's name, s/he should say the title and page number of the text s/he is reading while you record information. Check out this document for taking Status of the Class. And here is another one.
Reading Logs:
This is a great way for students to keep track of what they are reading.
