What You Can Do To Support Your Teen
Lead by example: let your teen see you reading and visiting the library often.
Sharing books shows you care. Talk about what you read with your teen.
Keep plenty of books, graphic novels, magazines, and newspapers around your home.
Empower your teens: let them select books that speak to their interests and hobbies.
Read stories, poems, graphic novels, magazines, or books aloud together.
Make sure your teen as regular access to the library.
Provide a quiet space for reading in your home and set aside time each day for reading.
Give books or gift certificates to bookstores as gifts.
Listen to audio books when traveling.
Don't forget that reading should be fun as well as educational. Let your teen choose some lighter reading that is not required for school!
