Reading Instruction for Young Learners: Chapter Summaries

Teachers should create methods that inspire students to read books and other forms of printed materials so that they can obtain tangible rewards. There is optimism that as reading transforms into a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience, intrinsic motivation will replace extrinsic motivation to engage in reading (4). Some students failed to reach their capacity for learning because their teachers were not completely aware of the delineations that existed between different students. Current educators should utilize this understanding in developing approaches that provide an opportunity for every learner to succeed.

Students with negative attitudes towards reading are frequently unable to read. There are also some that experience significant difficulty with reading but have a positive attitude towards the activity (18). Still, most learners tend to have a negative stance when the event seems arduous to them. There is also a group of students that do not possess a positive attitude towards reading because they lacked an early introduction to the pleasant experience of the activity.
