Abstract	Individuals who self-identify as poor readers can have a range of reading experiences, practices, and abilities. The author examined how adolescents and adults who self-identified as poor readers (a) found enjoyment in reading an interactive fiction app, (b) why they chose to engage with a text-based app, and (c) if their involvement with the app changed their reading practices. Participants were heavily involved in reading on the app, and their experiences allowed them to enjoy reading and begin to see themselves as readers in a positive light. However, all participants reported that they were uninterested in reading outside the app. Findings indicate that a positive experience can help youth and adults change how they engage with texts, but more support is required to help them engage with texts more broadly. (As Provided).
