I spoke with him about things he liked and suggested a few realistic fiction titles that he appeared to be interested in. The mom and son were both happy to be able to find something to read that he hadn’t read before.”-Teen Librarian “Mary talked to a teen, Jamika P, about signing up for the summer reading program since she had fines to pay off. Jamika said she didn’t read much because of an attention problem. The next day however, she came back and thanked Mary for suggesting the summer reading program since her doctor recommended her to read at least two hours a day. Since then she has come back looking for books that might be interesting to read.” How will YOU be the face of Teen Summer Reading?

- -data/test scores on middle and high school performance-Time out youth, POST, United Way, YMCA, Freedom Schools, PEW Internet and American Life studies, State Library-Kids Count Data Center -How does reading and the library (safe community space, education and literacy opportunities) fit in with the big picture of what teens in your community need to grow into healthy, successful adults?-we can say something like: for example, if state reading scores show that your local middle school only has 45% of students passing reading EOGs, targeted outreach/promotion of TSR and tracking of participants at that middle school enrolled in TSR could reveal increased reading proficiency (or something more objective -- like reading enjoyment, new interest in English classes, more focused on school work and goals, less in trouble)
