10-second review: How can teachers of all subjects motivate students to read? Teachers, even of Phys ed, need to think of texts—books, Internet sites, magazines—that are related to their subjects and give students a chance to explore them.

Comment: One thing all teachers in every subject with every unit need to do is to check out the unit’s topics on the Internet. The number of Web sites related to the units will stagger you. In the hundreds of thousands and sometimes in the millions. Of course, not all Web sites are equally valuable, but a number of them are. RayS.
