I teach a freshman reading comprehension class for learning disabled students. When the school year began I announced to students that the first 10 minutes of every day would be spent reading a book for pleasure. I explained that students could choose any book, there were no limits placed on their choice, and there would be no work involved afterwards. The idea was simply to promote reading without the pain that students with disabilities often feel when required to do a book report, diorama, etc., after an activity (reading) that is difficult for them.
