Search Strategy:
S1 = struggling readers or reluctant readers
S2 = library or school library media center
S3 = encourage or motivate
S1 and S2 and S3 = 7 hits
Actual Strategy: (kw: struggling reader or kw: reluctant readers) and (kw: library or kw: school library media center) and (kw: motivate or kw: encourage).

Reflection: The building block strategy is a helpful search tool was you identify the synonyms that will be most helpful in your search. My first search using only general terms created 59 hits but the hits were not relevant to my topic. I changed my search words and received fewer hits but the hits were very relevant to my topic. I believe in this particular search less is more, out of the 7 hits only 1 hit was not helpful.
