Giving Reluctant Readers A Purpose to Read From Tina Schneider, a title reading teacher at Southeast Warren Intermediate School in Lacona, Iowa: ìThrough a service learning grant I was able to purchase hard cover story books for my students to read aloud during story time at the local library. Three students read on a Saturday morning once a month. The books are then donated to the library with a special book jacket recognizing the student who selected it. This program has been very motivating and rewarding for my reluctant readers.î
