That's how it looks here in a Rockville library, where 14-year-old Olivia Smith is propped in a comfy chair, deep into a Japanese novel genre called manga. She has already been reading on the computer for an hour, and later, when she texts her friends, she will still be turning pages between messages. "I'm sort of a bookworm," she says.
If you are concerned about your teen reading, and his/her critical reading skills, then consider one of my favorite resources for developing critical reading skills: Reading Detective, available at ThinkingToLearn.com, our online resource store. This is a strong resource for use at home, by tutors, or in the classroom, to teach and strengthen core critical reading skills. Use it as a prep for the SAT/ACT critical reading sections, as well. The series is available in book and software format and is reasonably priced.
