Reading helps build vocabulary and knowledge. Teachers can motivate kids to read more by organizing competitions with rewards, collaborating with libraries to provide greater access to books, asking students to keep reading logs to stay motivated, setting aside daily time for selected reading and discussion, and creating personalized book clubs.
1. Reading helps in building vocabulary & improving a child's
knowledge base. So it is extremely important to motivate
kids to read as much as they can.
Ways Teachers Can Motivate
Independent Reading
Organize reading competitions for your
students with few rewards. This will
encourage kids to start reading books,
newspapers or novels.
Collaborate with local libraries
around the city
to provide greater access of
books as well as other reading
resources.
Ask your students to keep a track of the
books they read by creating a reading
log. More the entries on the log,
more will they feel motivated.
Set aside certain time for reading a selected book
everyday & conduct a healthy discussion
afterwards to check the student's progress.
Make a personalized book club
for your classroom to engage
students into reading.
