In every classroom, there are likely to be several children who haven’t yet found a way to love, or even like, reading. This four-part series will help teachers identify underlying reasons for children’s resistance, reluctance, and hesitation as well as possible remedies to enable these children to develop rich reading lives and strong reading identities. Please note: course material is not specific to the needs of children who have skills-based reading challenges. We will consider the following questions: What are the underlying causes of reading disengagement and what can we do about them? What do we know about focus, engagement, and attentiveness and how do we increase them?? What are the characteristics of well-rounded readers? In addition to decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills, what else do readers need? What classroom practices and opportunities increase engagement and reading pleasure?
