Teaching as inquiry target group

Inquiry Focus Question

How can I enhance the enjoyment levels of reading for my students and what effect will this have? 

My target group for my teaching inquiry is made up of 6 year 7 & 8 children -  2 girls and 4 boys. 

Through the reading survey, all 6 children indicated they were not reading a book for enjoyment and they do not enjoy reading.
