My Project

It is a simple concept, but teens love bookmarks-all kinds of bookmarks. They actually use them! Bookmarks are a way to foster a sense of ownership in a reading journey. The appeal of bookmarks lies not only in their aesthetic charm but also in their practicality. Teens, often pressed for time and distracted by the digital world, benefit from the ability to easily pick up where they left off in a book. The convenience offered by bookmarks can bridge the gap between busy teenage schedules and the joy of reading. In our school, students are required to do 20 minutes of silent sustained reading everyday, so students are continuously reading. Bookmarks are just a cheery way to make reading fun. Really anything in this post pandemic world that encourages teens to read helps my overall goal of increasing their reading. During Covid, reading was at an all time low and I am trying everything and anything to get students back into the habit of reading.
