Strategies to Encourage Independent Reading in Reluctant Learners

Strategies to get upper elementary grade 5 6 7 students to reading independently
Getting struggling readers to read independently in the upper elementary school grades can be very difficult. Students as young as second and third grade start to realize what they are not good at and will often want to give up. 
As teachers, we try hard to continue to motivate and encourage these students to persevere to do well in school. Sometimes it can be difficult as each struggling learner struggles with different things. 
The video below will walk you through different strategies and methods that you can implement in your classroom to continually encourage and engage your students in strengthening their reading skills.
