I teach at an incredibly diverse school full of students at varying reading levels. I teach in a Reading Workshop format where students choose books that interest them that are at their independent reading levels. Part of the reason teens are often turned off to reading is because they are forced to read something they have no interest in and that may or may not be at their independent reading level. I try to foster the love of reading in my classroom by showing students that reading is enjoyable. If teens find reading enjoyable, they are more likely to do it, and the more they read, the better they get at it!
