[quote=Anonymous]Surprised to hear all the negative comments about this. It's just something to do with your teen, like anything else you might enjoy together--go shopping, out for dinner, to the batting cage, read books. All perfectly valid activities if the kid wants to do it. When I was 15, I took a summer school English class (because I was hoping to do an exchange program and wanted to load up on credits.) Since it was so condensed, I was challenged to read all the books on time. My mom was really supportive, and to help me get it done we read to each other. In truth, reading out loud takes a lot longer than reading to yourself, but I think it forced me to just sit and focus. We were also trying to read very fast. It's the only time she read to me as a teen, but I have really fond memories of lying on my bed with her speed reading aloud Catcher in the Rye. [/quote]
