I’m a high school librarian for grades 10 -12 located in Texas.
My library staff and I are always being asked, “What’s a good book?” To help teens learn to read for enjoyment, we decided that we would promote the Tayshas reading program. Tayshas, meaning friendly, is a selected reading list prepared by the Tayshas Committee. The objective of the Tayshas project is to motivate young adults to become life-long readers and to participate in the community of readers in Texas.
On our campus we offer our students a reading incentive program from this list. This program is completely voluntary so that students may select books of their interest and within their limits. Our goal is to have students read the books and tell us their comments and offer other suggestions for similar books.
We hope the students on our campus will participate on our blog page as well as come by and discuss the books with us.
