Reluctant+Readers

Many adolescent readers are unmotivated or unengaged by reading. There are several reasons for this, such as:
 * lack of interesting reading material in the schools.
 * differing interests between the teacher and the students
 * unable to read complex textbooks
 * poor reading strategies for comprehension
