Competency 6c: Successive Fractions

Search Query: school library and the reluctant reader

Database: LexisNexis
S1 = reluctant readers - 998 hits
S2 = school library - 998 hits
S1 and S2 - 17 hits

First 2 results:
1.
Want to be stylish? Grab a good bookThe Western Mail, March 8, 2007, Thursday, NEWS; Pg. 20, 584 words, Abbie Wightwick Western Mail

2.
Never ending storiesThe Age (Melbourne, Australia), October 23, 2008 Thursday, METRO; Life & Times; Pg. 18, 782 words, Annie Lawson

Reflection: I was surprised that S1 and S2 separately had the same number of hits 998 and relieved that after deciding to do a Successive Fraction search after the specific facet my results were more manageable with 17 hits. The 17 results had several articles focused on drawing in the reluctant reader from making reading fun to actively involving the reluctant reader in the process of selection.
