Publisher Description: Getting students to want to read is one of the greatest challenges facing middle school teachers and librarians. Determining which are the right books that can spark a child's mental awakening is also difficult. This book from prolific author Nancy Polette furnishes interesting and fun games to pique students' interest in junior novels that are worth reading--carefully selected titles that will contribute to their educational and emotional growth. Gateway to Reading: 250+ Author Games and Booktalks to Motivate Middle Readers is a powerful tool for luring middle-school students away from the distractions of 21st-century media and introducing them to junior or 'tween novels that they won't be able to put down. By presenting children with a challenge to engage their minds--racing to decode book titles, or using their creativity to come up with titles of their own, for example--students are naturally drawn towards reading these books from well-known children's authors. |
