Please consider having your students respond to these questions about what, how and why they either do or don't read. One strategy for increasing the responses (and improving the validity) is to post the link in your computer area and encourage teens to take the survey while they are on-line. The survey is accessible from the Teen Read Week site (www.ala.org/teenread/) or from Teen Hoopla (www.ala.org/teenhoopla) and will be available until October 31. Results will be released later this winter on YALSA's adolescent literacy site, www.ala.org/teenread.
