description: In Reading Motivational Mini-Lessons for Middle and High School  author and teacher Kelly Gallagher offers a series of mini-lessons specifically tailored to motivate middle and high school students to read and in doing so to help them understand the importance and relevance reading will take in their lives. This book introduces and explains in detail nine specific real-world reasons why students should be readers. The book contains 40 practical classroom-tested and reproducible mini-lessons that get to the heart of reading motivation and that can be used immediately in English and other content-area classrooms. These easy-to-use motivational lessons serve as weekly reading booster shots that help maintain reading enthusiasm in your classroom from September through June. The mini-lessons ranging from 5-20 minutes in length hit home with adolescents and in turn enable them to internalize the importance reading will play in their lives. Rather than telling students reading is good for them the lessons in this book show them the benefits of reading.
