These three presentations were created as supplementary materials for reading motivation implementation strategies. They are meant to be engaging, digital summaries of arguments as to why advocating for a healthy reading culture is so important in terms of education, and academic achievement. There are added sources throughout for further reading, as well as implementation ideas.

The three materials include:

• Reading Aloud: a presentation summarizing the impact of reading aloud in a middle school environment
• Developing an Independent Reading Culture: a presentation summarizing the importance of independent reading, and how to continue fostering this environment in a middle school
• Student-Centered Book Discussions: An implementation overview of a student-centered book discussion (in upper middle school grades) program. This presentation supplements a research paper I wrote with more information on this project, and an analysis of its educational benefits.

These presentations were created as assignments for the advanced certificate LMS program at Queens College (2021-2022), with the aim of being introduced, and/or implemented at Berkeley Carroll Middle School.
