3. Don't lecture as if the students have never before seen the material!

4. You must really expect them to read the book, and always act as if you expect them to read the book.

5. You must set the tone the first day of class, saying that they must read the book and why.

6. You must read the book!

7. Make each day's assignment of reading an event, complete with coming attractions.

8. When you start the day's activities, do a brief activity that assumes the reading of the book.

9. As a rule, don't do examples directly from the book, unmodified -- it sends the wrong message. (But there are exceptions.)

10. When examples from the book are important and difficult, go over the difficult parts, only outlining the results of the easier parts, constantly tossing in phrases such as "as you saw in your reading,..." Better yet, get them involved in a group activity to work through the exercise themselves.

11. When they aren't doing the reading, try:
(a) Brief quizzes over the reading at the beginning of the day.
(b) Group activities based on the reading, as mentioned above.
