Title: practically useless
Product review: The 9 reading reasons in this book are nothing new or ground breaking. I feel like we all already know what they are but he just happened to write them down and charge us for it. The descriptions were brief and don't actually serve to get students reading. The rest of the book consists of mini-lessons to use in the classroom that are supposed to get students to see the value he set out, but I don't think they serve the purpose of providing students with an intrinsic motivation for reading at all. Waste of money for a little bit of insight and a bunch of handouts on lessons. Would've never bought it if weren't required for my class.
