Part of Ransom's new range of books for teachers and specialists, "Motivating Reluctant Readers" explores why we have so many children these days who are reluctant to read (or learn to read) and what we can do about it. Focusing on the problems and issues surrounding literacy and motivation, it looks at the media rich world today's children inhabit and how books (especially educational ones) so often fall short of their expectations. The book also highlights the changes that are needed to overcome the seemingly ingrained resistance to reading books and to improve literacy skills. Finally, a practical focus offers simple, tangible actions that can be implemented to help improve the process of reading with children, break down resistance and motivate reluctant readers.
