I now have them read at home, but over 75 percent of the students come back to school without their reading recorded. How can I motivate students to read at home because I have explained that this is part of the reason why their reading test scores are so low. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would try making it a class competition. The sooner the students all reach a set number of hours reading, they are rewarded with a special activity. If the class does not respond, I would try separating the class into teams. Making it more competitive may motivate them to get more reading done each night.
