Overview
Supporting Reading Grades 6-12: A Guide addresses head-on the disturbing trend of declining leisure reading among students and demonstrates how school librarians can contribute to the development of lifelong reading habits as well as improve students' motivation and test scores. The book provides a comprehensive framework for achieving this: the READS curriculum, which stands for Read as a personal activity; explore characteristics, history, and awards of creative works; analyze structure and aesthetic features of creative works; develop a literary-based product; and score reading progress.
