Looking for appropriate books for your child, check out Lesesne's book complete with annotated book lists. Her lists are marked with reading levels as well as ratings like you see on tv shows and movies. This way you can help your child determine if they are ready for a certain book.
Need help getting your adolescent to read--here are some suggestions:
Places to look for Favorite Literature:
Subliterature: comics, graphic novels, manga and series
Non-fiction: awards Orbis and Sibert Medals
Horror, Suspense and Supernatural
Humor
Mystery: http://www.mysterywriters.org/ and Edgar Award
To motivate kids as lifelong readers they need to have:
Trust
Access
Response-don't get in a rut, change up responses, character acrostics, reading A-Z, annotations, chalk outline(put info about character in appropriate body locations), exposed or undercover, genre exchange(reformulate text), blogs, sticky note poetry, PPT booktalks, shelf markers and talkers(kids record info about a book on greeting card recorders and place this on the book shelf), s-w-b-s-t
Guidance-never forget the power of your coaching or guidance for a stuck child, connect to their interest
Enthusiasm-make it interesting and let your passion show
Tween/Teen Appeal-make interesting book covers/allow students to remake covers
