Summary
In order for children to become engaged readers, it is important for them to develop the component reading skills that lead to long-term reading success and to find reading enjoyable. Both reading motivation and skill acquisition are central to reading development and continued growth over time. However, the relationship between these two prerequisites for becoming a lifelong reader is dynamic and bidirectional, suggesting that there are many different opportunities to intervene when children are disengaged or struggling readers. School psychologists can play a role in the prevention of and intervention in both reading and motivational challenges. This chapter includes information about how school psychologists might approach these issues using a tiered systems-of-support framework, while taking the home literacy environment into account.
