How would you work to engage a student who appeared to be disinterested in reading?

"I know that students show disinterest because they often lack the necessary skills to enjoy reading. I would first try to build a relationship with the student in order to learn more about their interests and develop trust. I would then find them a book within those interests to keep them engaged in the reading. I would teach targeted reading skills that could help them push past difficult words without getting frustrated and encourage them to make predictions, discuss the characters, and connect what they read to their own life. Sometimes giving a student your undivided attention and having organic discussion around a book can help them open up and get excited about the reading."
