Five(ish) Simple Strategies for Building Reading Stamina

Do you dread those days when you're expecting your students to read in class? If your students don't like to read: not independently, not collectively, not at all, it's likely they lack reading stamina. They can't stay focused on a text for any length of time, they're easily distracted, and those who are easily distracted distract others. While it may feel like an uphill battle to turn a nonreader into a reader at the high school level, we can make progress by helping them improve their reading stamina. Ever the realists, though, we also think sometimes needs must, and you need to meet students where they're at in order to make any reading-based progress throughout the school year.
