Has your teen fallen out of love with reading? If so, don’t panic. Here are some top tips on how to get teens involved in World Book Day.
There are lots and lots of benefits to reading not only educational, it is a great form of escapism, it is restful, it can inspire creativity and it can stir all sorts of fabulous thoughts and imaginings. I am a big fan. I spent much of my own teen years immersed in a good book.
Technology is so prevalent in our teens lives it can be hard to engage them with reading but World Book day provides a great opportunity. take a little look at this film and show it to the teens in your life
The film suggests three ways teenagers can get involved:
- Sharing their favourite stories with friends and family and online under #ShareAStory
- Picking up one of five special edition full-length YA titles by bestselling authors at an exclusive price with a World Book Day book token
- GET BOOKCLUBBING, setting up their own book club to talk about their latest and favourite reads with classmates and friends.
