Overview:

 * Reluctant readers
 * Students reading several grades below their grade level
 * Students are unmotivated to read

POINTS TO CONSIDER Selection of high interest, low vocabulary books is one important factor. Getting them into reluctant readers hands is another.

According to Teenreads.com 2009 Reader survey, 83% of their respondents relied on book recommendations from friends. Only 36% from librarians.

Books marketed as High/Low may have a place in direct reading instruction, but do not tend to be books that children select to read. ||
