Reading Reasons: Motivational Mini-Lessons for Middle and High School, by Kelly Gallagher has some quick, eye-opening lessons on the importance of reading. One of the ones I like is called, "How Much Will You Be Paid To Attend Class Today?" It demonstrates how people who graduate from high school usually make considerably more money than those who don't, and then adds in further financial benefits of post-secondary. Stenhouse publishes it. You can click on the cover below to go to the website where they have a preview of the book.
When I googled the book before posting it this morning I also found a slideshow that looks like it has been developed by a literacy teacher in Florida. It highlights some of the key points in Reading Reasons. You can click on the picture below to link to the slideshow.
