[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you talked to her about how to build her love of reading into an EC opportunity?  Perhaps even a leadership opportunity? As a freshman, she may not be able to see how a love of reading is a wonderful gift and one that she could share confidently with others. Would she be interested and would her school support a book club?  My DS's school has a really active book club where they bring in author speakers and attend events at indie bookstores in the area. They also do reading events (like acting out a Shakespeare play) with an underfunded public school in DC. Would that interest her?

Found out (hopefully before I screwed them up too badly) with my kids that working with their interests rather than trying to force a new one on them was so much better for our relationship and their confidence. [/quote]

A good community EC for a reader is to join the teen advisory board of the local library.  Pretty low-key, structured volunteering with fellow readers.[/quote]
