This can create problems with books being too short, too easy, maybe wrong type of book, such as sports statistic books. I haven't had time to gather or organize books.

So, as opposed to trying to suppress their energy for sharing their needs, I figured out how to redirect it instead. [Click below to read the solution.]

By employing the strategies described below, reading will become something that students do willingly, even eagerly, and the adults in their lives will not have to resort to trickery, bribery, manipulation, or any other tactic that will, at best, lead to temporary compliance.

Show a photograph to a child, and the youngster will point to it, trace its image, and respond with a variety of emotions. Show another to an adult, and you get a frown, a smile, or a gesture—rarely will you draw a blank. Then show a photo, or a series of photos, to people at any level, and you’ll have more responses than you can handle.
And how would some observers react to a simple photograph of fish? Here’s how Laura Pastuszek responded to the photograph she took when she taught English in South Korea during the summer of 2008.
