I am always fascinated by the question of motivation, and the  article
mentions some comforting findings: that strategy instruction,  choosing
diverse texts, and self-selected reading are three of the best  practices
to increase motivation. 

I realize it can be hard to get a  book discussion going mid-year on the
list since we are all so busy. But I  would be happy to join with
interested people in a discussion of this  article (which has about 12
pages of actual article, as opposed to title  page, works cited, etc.) if
anyone is interested. We could read it over the  next week, and discuss it
the following week. What do you  think?

Take care,

Excellence  is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary 
are everywhere.  Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in 
studying the  exemplary.
