Teen Read Week encourages teens to read for the fun of it. We have a real opportunity to make this happen. Teen Read Week is the perfect time to remind teens about how enjoyable reading for fun can be. Like librarians, reading teachers also have expressed their concern about helping teens make time to read.
Adolescents deserve specific opportunities to schedule reading into their days.
Other national Teen Read Week partners include the American Association of School Administrators, American Booksellers Association, National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Education Association and National Council of Teachers of English. On Saturday, September 16, from 10 AM to 1 PM, students and teachers from Washington County Public Schools distributed information about Teen Read Week at the Valley Mall. On Saturday, October 14, students and teachers will officially kick-off the local Teen Read Week celebrations at Hagerstown's new Borders bookstore. The Washington County Young Adult Literature Study group is leading the county's celebration of TRW events.
