1. Set an Example.
Let your kids see YOU reading.

2. Make sure there’s something
to read.
Keep plenty of books, magazines, newspapers and
catalogs on hand to encourage random acts of
reading.

Comment on something you’ve read in the paper, or leave it lying open on the breakfast table and ask your teen’s
opinion on a topic.
3. Share your reading.

Young Adult novels can provide insight into the
pressures and problems of teenagers. They might
provide a great starting point for a difficult discussion.
4. Read a book written for teens.

When at the library or bookstore, allow your teen to go their own way and make
independent selections. A gift certificate allows them to
make decisions about what they buy.
5. Give teens a chance to choose.

Acknowledge the fact that your teen is growing up -
suggest some adult novels you think they
can handle.
6. Recognize your teen’s mature
interests.

Look for books, magazines, and
newspaper articles that cover your teen’s
favorite sports team or music group.
7. Build on hobbies and interests.

Boys, especially when they hit middle school, show a strong preference for non-
fiction. It’s okay if they don’t like the latest novel
-- try a biography or magazine.
8. Let boys read like boys.

Make sure your teen knows it’s okay to read frivolous things for pleasure. Let them know it’s okay to skip parts of a
book or leave it unfinished if it gets boring (unless it’s for
school!).
9. Lighten up.

Teens go through phases. If your teen ignores books, don’t stress too much.
They’ll likely return to it at some point.
10. Keep trying.
