Around the age of 12 and 13, young teens begin to lose interest in reading. According to The New Yorker, teenage students often see reading at school and reading for pleasure as separate entities, that do not often cross paths. This is often because the books prescribed in school curriculums are simply not interesting to them. The books in this project are award-winning high-interest books for teens to encourage their independent reading habits in school. Each book is selected because it is highly captivating, has rich language, and is age-appropriate for the student population. With these books, students will build their desire to read independently for enjoyment and to engage critically with the material. This project includes two class sets of books.
