Fostering the Love of Reading : The Affective Domain in Reading Education

Why do some people who can read simply choose not to, while others read widely for information and pleasure?

What can teachers do to encourage the development of the reading habit?

These are just two of the questions addressed in this comprehensive exploration of the affective domain in reading.

This publication discusses the role of affect, attitude, and motivation reading, and offers many practical suggestions for curricula and classroom strategies that will help teachers at all levels lead their students into a life of reading.
