These too-good-to-put-down reads will keep you teen reading all summer long! Thought-provoking books are a great way to positively influence how the young adult in your life views books — and maybe even their perspective on life.
Reading books can be a grounding experience as teens explore their identity and values. For example, the relatable This Might Get Awkward is a new novel that navigates various social situations for teens. Riveting stories like this one offer laugh-out-loud moments and can spark conversations about important topics — like rejection or social media.
Reading goals can inspire your teen to read more and improve their reading comprehension and vocabulary. From May 9 to August 19, kids can visit Scholastic Home Base to participate in the free, fun, and safe summer reading program. As part of the program, kids can read e-books, attend author events, and keep Reading Streaks™ to help unlock a donation of 100K books from Scholastic – distributed to kids with limited or no access to books by Save the Children.
