young adult literature

Teens must read at least two hours per day if they are to build their reading skills. Schools should be part of this process but most often they aren't. Under these circumstances, taking up the slack at home becomes very important. You cannot force adolescents to read. You can only entice them. This means you must provide them with books they find interesting. Reading is like meditating: it works if one builds concentration slowly over time and if it's pleasurable. Here are some links to websites where you can find a range of interesting young adult (YA) fiction.
