[quote=Anonymous]I have two teen boys. The reading for pleasure waned around 4th grade when they ran out of interest in long-running series. My older one is midway through college and is reading for pleasure again. The younger is a high school junior. I do think high school classes, particularly APs, suck up all the time they are willing to spend on reading. My younger also is surrounded by a culture of using AI for everything. But not to get hysterical...I remember a bunch of the brightest boys in my high school Honors English classes were heavy customers of Cliff Notes. Which are basically the analog version of using AI to get through literature classes. My boys are sucked into video games but that is very important to their hanging out with friends. I didn't allow them to start social media pages when under 16 so they aren't into that.[/quote]
