| Sumario: | This article proposes that remedial learning is fundamentally a problem of arousing and sustaining motivation. Four main aspects of a motivational program for poor readers have been described. First, the teacher must be able to convey to the learner the feeling that he is accepted, liked and understood. Second, the efforts of the learner must meet with success from the start. Third, interest must be captured and maintained through the utilization of both interesting materials and interest-sustaining procedures. And lastly, learners should be helped to feel that reading is his personal problem and that he is participating cooperatively with the teacher in solving it.
