TARGET,SEC:Teen reading programs

[Joy Alter Hubel <joy.alter@verizon.net>]

Has anyone had any particular success with a program that encourages
high school students to read?  I'm interested in getting information on
how to make book discussion groups work; worthwhile extra-credit
projects; poetry readings and coffee-house type events in the library;
anything else anyone would recommend.
I'm so tired of hearing that teens won't read, and am wondering what I
can do in my school to contradict that notion.
