  • Young Adult Best Books - 2012

    Young Adult Best Books - 2012

     Since 1987, the Young Adults’ Choices project has developed an annual list of new books that will encourage adolescents to read. The books are selected by the readers themselves, so they are bound to be popular with middle and secondary school students. The reading list is a trusted source of book recommendations, used by adolescents, their parents, teachers, and librarians.
     
    The IRA considers numerous factors in selection, such as geographical representation, number of students, type of population, knowledge of children and young adult literature, leadership and professional involvement, attendance at IRA conferences, and interest from and support of selected schools.

    Independent Reading Weekly Logs

    Students should be reading at least 30 minutes per day outside of school.
     
    Some ways to get started:  find an interesting book, find a comfortable and quiet place to read, begin reading for small amounts of time (3 minutes) and each day build 30 seconds more on to the time using a timer.  Students should be reading at least 30 minutes per day outside of the school day.
