TECHNOLOGY IS STOPPING COMMUNICATION

Reading books for teenager quotes

THINK YOUR TEEN WON'T READ SMILE & SMILE FOR TEENS?
From the 2017 Study "Teen Reading in the Digital Era":
"“70% of study participants say they read for pleasure at least weekly, with 50% claiming to read for a minimum of 15 minutes daily.”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says teens may read for pleasure as little as six minutes per day, Direct, concise with no wasted words, Smile & Succeed for Teens is structured to be read in small doses. It was written with teen reading habits and preferences in mind.

Teens can use the book like a dictionary or encyclopedia, finding the topic they need help with in the Table of Contents, and going directly to that section of the book.


Teens won't only walk away with information. They will walk away with a step-by-step process for applying what they’ve learned.
