Incorporating Reading with Technology

As we've already talked about, there are several ways to encourage teens to read.  One very important method of promoting reading is by catering the reading to your teen's interests.  As most teens spend a lot of time on the internet, why not encourage teens to talk about reading while on the web?

There are several sites that allow teens to discuss what they are reading with other teens.  

Live Wire Teen Forum- This is a great site with discussions about current reads as well as favorite authors and books.

Chicago Public Library: Book Reviews for Teens- Book reviews by teens, for teens.

Readergirlz- Literacy and social media project for teens.  There are literally thousands of posts on this blog discussing teen reads, with over 600 current followers.
