The strategies outlined in the graphic here would be a good start to putting reading back on the agenda and teaching it explicitly.

If you travel in your car a lot, a podcast is a great way to use the time and to avoid the awful cacophony of FM radio. It’s not the music I object to, it’s the inane chatter. So, I have decided to investigate podcasts. I am a fan of ‘Serial’ hosted by Sarah Koenig, (in fact I plan on using the first series for a Year 10 Literature class; more on that later) Capturebut now I am finding more and more really good ones to listen to. If you are trying to find something, you could do worse than take recommendations from the web’s premier podcast search engine. They have compiled useful lists for you.
