Michigan Adolescent Literacy Council presents:
Share the Read!
This is an opportunity for you to create a mini book club with your son, daughter, niece, nephew, or other neighborhood adolescent or teen this summer. You will each choose and read one of two books in your grade level category and then have a chance to discuss the book using questions provided to you on Michigan Adolescent Literacy Council website.
We are hopeful that this shared reading experience will accomplish the following:
-Encourage parents and adolescents to read
-Set a framework for conversations between adult and adolescent about the book
-Provide a framework for discussing relevant issues or topics raised by the book
