About this title

Synopsis

Why do some people who can read simply choose not to, while others read widely for information and pleasure? What can teachers do to encourage the development of the reading habit? These are just two of the questions addressed in this comprehensive exploration of the affective domain in reading. This publication discusses the role of affect, attitude, and motivation in reading, and offers many practical suggestions for curricula and classroom strategies that will help teachers at all levels lead their students into a life of reading.

From the Back Cover

This book is about the central and most important goal of reading instruction-how to foster the love of reading. It is about teachers and the critical role they play in helping children develop into motivated, active, engaged readers who read for both pleasure and information because they find it to be personally satisfying and rewarding...

"Fostering the Love of Reading" is based on motivation theory and research that provides a body of knowledge for building the know--how we need to improve literacy learning for all students. The editors of this volume have carefully gathered a collection of articles that represent the best in current thinking about a wide range of issues related to reading motivation. The authors offer a refreshing look at how to create classroom cultures that turn students on to both the joy and value of reading.

Because we want all our students to become lifelong literacy learners, the goal of developing a love of reading must be a priority in the curriculum. This volume will serve as a rich and valuable resource for energizing teachers toward achieving this worthwhile goal.
