Naked Reading

Uncovering what tweens need to become lifelong readers

For teachers, the tween years can be both the best and worst of times. While some fourth-to-ninth graders come to see books as a lifeline to comprehension, too many experience the "fourth-grade slump" — a marked decline in interest and achievement in reading.

This unique book examines ways that educators can help interest kids in books and keep them reading during this crucial period, including:

developmental attributes of tweens
emerging interests for tweens
themes and plots tweens find most engaging
annotations for scores of children`s and YA literature that`s most appropriate for tweens
practical classroom activities for sparking engagement and interest

Naked Reading is also loaded with titles to help you connect kids with the books that they will love.
