We all know that some teens should read more, but the more salient questions about why or what they should read often go unanswered.

Mike Bergin of Chariot Learning will attempt to answer those questions in Why (And What) Teens Should Read Outside of School. In this online program, Teens will learn about research-supported facts and strategies for building regular reading habits, as well as the answers to these questions…

Is reading a skill that can be improved?
How often should teens read to unlock real mastery?
How do strong reading skills impact school grades, test scores, and life in general?
With limited time available, what kind of reading should teens prioritize?

Why-And-What Teens Should Read Outside of School will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, June 23, at 6:30 PM. If you’d like to attend the program, please register now through our Event Calendar. Registration will close on Monday, June 21, at 5:00 PM.

Please note, by registering for this program, you are agreeing to release your name and email to Chariot Learning. The Zoom login information and any PDF materials will be sent from Chariot Learning.
