Newscaster further adding to the dilemma So if this many students feel this way...again...how are we as parents and teachers of these children going to motivate them to read? Luckily, some school systems have incorporated programs to help boost the student motivation.

Final thoughts/summary Newscaster: Although this program may not instill in EVERY student a desire to read, it does in fact help. As youve seen, this program has had a positive affect on the students and staff here at both Greenbrier Middle and Elementary schools. Maybe if more schools implemented more programs such as these, more students would be avid readers. Im ___________ reporting for ___________. Thank you.
