  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!)
Have them fill out a reading log - What pages they read and a short summary of what they read about - no more then 3 sentences per chapter.

Comments: I like this solution because requiring the students to write a summary about what they read about that night holds them accountable for actually reading the book.
