I came across this article recently by Megan Daly and it
sums up everything we try and do in the library to get students reading. Teachers
and Library staff emphasize to students how reading, especially deep reading
helps them critically analyse all literature and gives them the works to
express themselves. But I wonder what they really hear? Blah, Blah, Blah? We
would love it if parents just take some time to read themselves, or listen to
audio books. This article gives some good advice about setting routines, making
it part of a schedule, letting them see you reading, taking an interest in what
they are reading. Bribery also comes into the discussion!
