ENCOURAGING RELUCTANT READERS TO READ

Abstract

One of the most difficult problems that face teachers at classroom is the presence of students who do not want to read. Yet encouragement is essential for academic success. While encouraging all students is one of the most difficult assignments of teaching, there are different steps that teachers and parents can employ to encourage reluctant readers. The current study will address previous literature on encouragement of reluctant readers and associate it with possible teachers and parents applications and roles for improving reading skills in the class and at home.
