I’ve thought about going to grad school to get a master’s degree, so I can teach ESL to adults. However, someone suggested to me that I might not be able to find a position in which I would be teaching adults, and that I may have to apply for positions in which I would be teaching children. I don’t want to teach kids or teens, though, so would it really be a good idea for me to pursue this?

OK, so maybe this book does not have mass appeal. It is written by a teacher and aimed at other teachers, the plot, how to entice school kids to read. Reading is the very cornerstone of learning. Without the skill life is pretty darn hard for a school kid, and even worse for an adult.
I am an avid reader, and have been since a very small child. I read for fun then, and I read for fun now. Reading is escapism, reading is learning, reading is the gateway to knowledge. Alas it is also often treated as a boring subject…

Each chapter includes a description of the option, its theoretical and empirical background, examples of activities illustrating in a non-technical manner how it can be implemented in the classroom, questions for reflection, and a list…
