Hinton, KaaVonia; Dickinson, Gail K.
Voices from the Middle, v13 n1 p15-20 Sep 2005
So much hinges on putting the right book in a student's hands. Motivation to read is the foundation from which knowledge, reading competency, and comprehension grow. But how do we do it? Here, Hinton and Dickinson offer practical advice for how to reach kids through a partnership with library media specialists and a commitment to promoting books across subjects, locations, and seasons. (Contains 3 tables.)
