How to Cultivate a Love of Reading in Students

Amidst all the multimedia options and Common Core's stress on close reading and increased non-fiction, how do we instill a love of reading?   Popular blogger, Elen Aguilar offers 10 ways that teachers, parents, and administrators can help.   She means old fashioned "paper" books.
Some of her strategies are approprate for Title I classes, others not since they need investment from other stakeholders.  I particularly like strategies 8, 9, and 10. 

What strategies do you use to encourage students to read for recreation?
