We have asked students to read 20 minutes a night and write a brief summary. What we've noticed is that some students continually "read" the same book or their summaries are boring. A while back there was a similar question posted and someone spoke of goal setting they did with their students around pages read. I want them to want to read and not just go through the motions. We would love any suggestions! thanks!
