Student Reading Interest Inventory Data

﻿Students in English 9 for ESL students, General English 9, and Basic English 9 were encouraged to complete the reading interest inventory below. A few Advanced English 9 students also completed the survey. 

The survey yielded the following interesting information that helped me to focus my reading encouragement plan: 1. Students of all ability levels value humor in books. 2. Students of all ability levels are especially drawn to realistic fiction. 3. Students of all ability levels read the newspaper for a wide variety of reasons, but they especially like the comics. 4. Students of all ability levels enjoy creepy, scary, mysterious, or even supernatural stories. 5. Few students of any ability level (including advanced) liked to read poetry. 6. Students of all ability levels still watch television and have a wide variety of favorite shows.

The previous information enabled me to design a reading encouragement plan that will appeal to students' natural love of creepy stories, humorous books, and comics. The plan will also work to increase the number of students who have been exposed to and like poetry.
