  Case: Students won't read at home
I teach high school English, and my students refuse to read at home. Sure, I try to give them interesting texts to read, but there are some things we are required to read that simply aren't interesting. Any ideas?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have the students use "The Smart 7" Strategy on printed text. If this is used, they are required to read or they are unable to complete the assignment. This also helps them to better understand the text and answer questions.
