I wish Reddit would let me put this in large font.

They don't like reading because they're not good at it! This book addresses motivation, and gives you lesson and talk strategies to help get kids into reading and figure out what reading skills they need to work on. I read it on my own during my student teaching and refer back to it constantly. Hands down, the most useful teaching book I've ever read.

Also, her writing style is nice and makes for easy reading. I read the whole thing in two or three days. Bring along a pencil and page markers to mark the stuff you're going to want to go back to.
