Motivating People to Read

Prolonged enthusiasm in certain activity like reading is hard to accomplish if someone is not encourage enough to do it. Each person has own extent or period of time focusing his attention to read. In reading, it may only require few muscles to do but tiring if persisted. One may be good in comprehending texts and articles but numbers are always in the game and better if partnered with comprehension. Meaning, the more you read with comprehension, the better.
According to the review, there are dimensions grouped into categories in children’s motivation and each plays dynamic part on extended drive in reading. Motivation to read exists in numerous features and dimensions that are coinciding with other dimensions. This review taught me to be exposed and aware of my own way to motivate myself to read. I agree to the part that the article enumerates the purposes of most of the children have for readings. It is more of extrinsic driven for reward or grade. I cannot disagree with that, because even I when I was in elementary I also have the same perspective on reading only for marking or rating purposes. As I grew up, I was satisfied to my development and see improvements on what initiates me to read. As stated on the review, I think I was able to achieve the part that my motivation to read is my goal for learning and interest on certain topic. At this stage, sometimes I still find myself guilty of treating reading with desire to compete and recognition for success. Though it shows immaturity, it is also one of driving forces for some people to pursue prolonged intensive reading. At least, I also find myself on the third category which treats reading in social context.
Furthermore, it was also discussed on the review the four literacy personalities. Dimensions of motivation influence child’s reading and their needs to sustain his unique motivation to read. I was able to relate myself to one of those literacy

    Many students who struggle with reading ask why should we read, what is the point? The point is that being able to read opens you up a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. But to have that new world opened up you need to be able to comprehend what you are reading. The primary goal of reading is to determine the meaning of what the writer is communicating and make the most of that information. That’s why reading comprehension skills are so important. Without them the reader cannot gather any information and use it to efficiently function and enjoy the richness of life (Marshall).…

    Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading, there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading, they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end. In addition to reading at the library we checked books out to bring home to read, this allowed me to read as much as I wanted to. Correspondent to the amount of reading I did, the more I enjoyed it and improved at reading.…

    So reading is important, that is a well-established fact. But the different views lead to really distinctive differences in the practises in schools. Authors generally think that enjoyment should be the prime factor in the youths reading activities. School workers often try to use as much of the academic friendly method as possible, since they see it more fit for the school system, and it doesn’t take as much time. The possibility to join the two methods exist, but that is a whole other case. Ultimately, enjoyment seems like the most essential factor to reading. It worked at least…

    Finding one book that intrigued Stephanie enough was all it took to make her an everyday reader. The same goes to me. When in my earlier years I hated reading. There were only two things I hated to do. Those two things were reading, and doing what someone told me to do. Hating a combination of the both you could see how the disposition with reading would subsist. It wasn’t until the summer going into middle school that I changed my ideals on the subject.…

    When I was done with school I didn’t think a single thought about reading when I came home . All I could think about was the football match I had later or the video games I was going to play. “If you read 30 minutes a day, instead of playing video games or being with your friends, you would be a much greater writer and your vocabulary will expand”, my dad often said. And I totally agree with him, but those 30 minutes felt like hours to me, and I was just too tempted to do almost anything…

    Literacy Vs Autonomy

    • 699 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Despite claims of diluting the curriculum, undermining the teacher, and reducing students’ cognitive ability, self-selected reading proves beneficial as it gives students a sense of autonomy, allows them to select relevant literature, and provides a smooth transition into reading literary classics (Guthrie & Klauda, 68). Educators must remember that reading is more than a cognitive process of decoding words, reading fluently, or comprehending the text. Rather reading is becoming deeply involved, captivated, absorbed and immersed in a given text (Blair & Johnson, 182). Certainly, no benefit can come from unengaged reading and in order for students to become skillful, passionate, and life-long lovers of reading they must be fully engaged. Self-selection makes this…

    The newness of reading had worn off by junior high. My leisure reading had decreased significantly due to sports and increase in textbook reading assignments made by our teachers. The textbook reading assignments changed how I felt about reading. When in elementary school, reading was learning, but what we were reading were nothing more than stories made up by a publishing company. There was usually a lesson learned at the end of the story. Textbooks didn’t have that same story like nature. They were full of facts and what seemed like complex analogies and theories. Reading was not fun anymore.…

    Author makes a good point that a student must do the learning when a teacher is helping them understand a material.I believe that together the student and teacher must put the effort to help each other. When a student doesn't understand a material a teacher should always help the student regardless if the teacher has explained it thousands of times before.A student when they are reaching out for help they should always make the effort to learn something even if they believe it is impossible for them to learn it.When you study what you've learn you have a higher chance of retaining the information in vs when you do not study or even pay attention to the lesson .…

    Do you remember learning to read as a young child? How about wanting to be able to read like your parents and siblings could? Learning to read, for me, was something that I had always wanted to do. My siblings and my parents could read, and not being able to made me feel kind of left out, and like I was missing out on something. When I started Kindergarten, the most exciting thing to me was being able to learn to read. I don’t remember any specific instances when I was practicing reading, but I do remember the process that we did every day.…
