A practicum addressed the problem of 8 second and third grade nonindependent readers (students at a small private school) who were not choosing to read library books. The literature review disclosed using sustained silent reading, sharing responses to reading and planning for more available time to read in the classroom and at home as viable ways of increasing library reading. Sustained silent reading periods were used to increase reading time in school. A motivational technique called The Eleven Minute Club was established to increase reading time at home. Peer partner reading sessions were used to give increased opportunity for sharing responses to reading. Results of the practicum were positive. The selected students increased the number of books checked out of the library. Students also appeared to increase their responses to reading. Classroom teachers became more aware of and used reading techniques other than basal reading instruction. (Contains 2 tables of data and 16 references.
