Motivational source

"Puzzle Them First!: Motivating Adolescent Readers With Question-Find" by academician and reading instruction specialist A. Vincent Ciardiello focuses on the use of 'question-finding' as a strategy for teaching content literacy to adolescent students. 'Question-finding' teaches students how to effectively probe the multiple meanings of text, as well as reducing any social constraints, thereby increasing their independence as readers and inquirers. Enhanced with annotated resources, a sample lesson plan, motivational sources for question-finding, and a glossary of key concepts and specialized terms, "Puzzle Them First!" is especially recommended to the attention of classroom teachers and parental homeschoolers working with teenagers ages 12 to 18.
