Motivating Student Reading

Question: How can teachers encourage students to want to read?

 Answer: Invite administrators and other faculty members, regardless of subject, to give book talks to students about their favorite books.

Comment: I like the idea. You might want to suggest some guidelines. Significant ideas. Favorite scenes. Favorite quotes. Why it is one of your favorite books. RayS.
