 * EDUC 533 Secondary Reading Motivation**

**Title:** Motivating Secondary Students to Read: How We Can Help Our Students
 * Name:** Maria Sed
 * Summary:** Studies have shown that the more students read, the better they perform on standardized tests. The problem is getting them motivated to read both in and out of the classroom! For my instructional unit I have created an informational seminar that will provide high school English teachers with research-based promising practices they can use in their own classrooms. The major points of the seminar include:
 * What is Motivation? Extrinsic v. Intrinsic
 * Factors that Influence Student Motivation
 * Promising Practices to Increase Reading Motivation
