Reading Revival: Cultivating Lifelong Readers in High School Classrooms

Why are teenagers reading less, and what can educators do about it?

Reading Revival explores the growing disconnect between students and sustained, meaningful reading. With a clear-eyed look at the causes of this decline, from digital distractions to rigid testing systems, this book presents practical solutions that can transform how reading is taught and experienced in high school classrooms.

This comprehensive guide is divided into three parts: diagnosing the problem, implementing effective strategies, and sustaining long-term change. It includes research-backed lesson plans, creative assessment ideas, and school-wide initiatives that help foster a genuine love of reading. Whether designing a classroom library, using social media to spark literary discussion, or building differentiated reading programs, the focus remains on relevance, equity, and student engagement.

What's inside:

• Classroom-tested strategies to engage reluctant and struggling readers

• Innovative uses of technology that enhance rather than replace deep reading

• Culturally responsive practices and support for diverse learners

• Flexible unit plans and creative project ideas

• Real examples from schools that have reignited student reading habits
