Sometimes students do not want to go through the pains of trying to read because of the effort it takes. If students learn to monitor their performance then they will see that their efforts do pay off. Sometimes libraries are intimidating because of their size. Students may find it difficult to find a book they like. Providing a narrow selection may eliminate the trials of finding a book of interest.
Many students do learn better with visuals.
Illustrations can help the nonreaders. This does not mean that ideas are simplified rather they are just in pictures instead of in words. Many concepts can be expressed through visuals. Drawing what they hear will help them to generalize new concepts. This helps for the students to hear the changes in the tones of voice of the reader.
