YALSA, Teens, and Reading
Paula Brehm-Heeger and Stacy Creel
he mission of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) is
to advocate, promote, and strengthen service to young adults as part of
the continuum of total library service and to support those who provide
service to this population. YALSA has identified several activities and concerns
as essential in fulfilling this vital mission. Among this list of compelling
concerns, none ranks higher than evaluating and promoting materials of
interest to adolescents through special services, programs, and publications.
The annual Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers (QP) and Popular
Paperbacks for Young Adults (PPYA) lists clearly fall under the “evaluating
and promoting materials of interest to adolescents” umbrella. But why is the
selection of titles for these lists, put together by dedicated and knowledgeable
library professionals, such an essential activity for YALSA? Why should all
librarians, educators, and adults concerned with the health and well-being of
teenagers spend their valuable and increasingly limited time, resources, and
energy learning about and utilizing the QP and PPYA lists for the benefit of the
teenagers with whom they work? A brief examination of reading habits among
teenagers ages 12–18, both past and present, provides insight into just why
these lists are vital for strengthening service to all young adults in the nation’s
libraries.
Today’s librarians face many challenges, including getting teens not only
into their libraries but also into reading. This concern is widely acknowledged,

Introduction: YALSA, Teens, and Reading
but opinions differ on why these challenges exist and also on the state of teens
and reading in America. Are teens reading or not? Which teens are reading
more, and which teens are reading less? Are they reading what they say they
are reading? And what counts as reading (Aronson 2006; Gardner and Dillon
2005; National Endowment for the Arts 2007)? The pendulum of public opinion
swings between the idea that young adults are not reading at all and what
Aronson calls “hand-wringing over what a concerned parent fears they might
be reading too avidly” (Aronson 2005). So what is the reality behind these
seemingly contradictory ideas regarding teens and reading?
A good place to start unraveling the mystery about teens and their reading
habits is with a look at the origins of the concept of reluctant readers. A common,
long-standing perception about why teens are not reading or are reluctant to
read is associated with reading skill. When reading is difficult for them, they do
not like to do it. This belief about why teens are reluctant readers is not a new
concept. In 1952, the Executive Committee of Capital Area School Development
Association recognized the needs of low-level teen readers and produced Fare
for the Reluctant Reader—an annotated listed of teen-tested titles divided by
grade level and category (Bush and Dunn 1952). The idea that teens do not read
because they lack the skills to do so has remained popular over the years and
has led to such ideas as connecting teens to reading through hi/lo books—books
deemed to have high interest but requiring low reading skills (LiBretto 1985;
Williams 1987).
As the concept was developed more fully, the reasons some teens fall into
this category became more complex. The thought that teens are not reading
simply because they lack the skill gave way to more nuanced discussions. By
1969, the term reluctant reader had expanded to include readers “who have the
ability to read without mechanical problems but have little or no inclination
to read except what is required for work or normal everyday life” (Chambers
1969, 4). This view included a list of reasons that youth ages 11–17 were not
reading—a list that probably sounds familiar to many of today’s librarians:
the dislike of stories, the lack of time, the fact that teens like group activities,
and the influx of technology replacing reading as a leisure time activity. In
her 1996 School Library Journal article “No Time, No Interest, No Way: The 3
Voices of Aliteracy,” Kylene Beers demonstrates the further evolution of the
reluctant teen reader concept, with reluctant readers now classified into three
categories: dormant, uncommitted, and unmotivated. The dormant reader
has a positive view of reading but does not commit the time to read or lacks
the free time for pleasure reading. The uncommitted reader views reading
as a skill but does not have necessarily negative feelings about the skill. The
unmotivated reader has a negative view of reading and readers. Stacy Creel,
who worked with youth for ten years in a public library setting and spent
three years on the QP committee, formulated the following categories:
The A+ Student. This group of teens reads frequently for school assignments
but not for pleasure. If it is not important for their college application,
3
they may not have time, or see the need, to read. They have so much
academic reading that even pleasure reading can seem like a chore or
an assignment.
The Athlete. These teens may struggle with academics or reading, but not
necessarily. Often their lack of recreational reading comes from their
hectic schedule; practices, pep rallies, games, and studying to keep
their grades up may not leave much time for recreational reading.
Additionally, the stereotypical image of the athlete puts pressure on
this group to look and act a certain way, an image that may not include
being a reader.
The Average Joe/Jane. These teens can take reading or leave it. They may be
enticed to read when presented with the “right” book but do not seek
out reading on their own. They may come in for assigned open-choice
reading, get a book, read it and enjoy it, but not check out another book
until the next semester.
The English as Second Language. This group of teens may or may not
participate in recreational reading in their native language if materials
are available. Reading in English may be a struggle, and finding highinterest recreational books at the appropriate level can be a challenge
that keeps them from reading. Additionally, they may perceive that there
is a stigma to carrying around a “baby” book or books below level.
The “I Only Read . . .” This is a controversial category. If teens read only
one type of book, are they “reluctant”? Some librarians may say, “No,
they’re reading on their own for pleasure,” and others may say, “Yes,
if they have read all the vampire fiction in the library and won’t read
anything else, then they aren’t reading.”
The Incarcerated. This group of teens may be most closely related to the
historical version of the reluctant reader. They often have diagnosed
learning or emotional disabilities (34 percent) and have a poor academic
record including low achievement, low literacy skills, truancies, being
held back, and suspensions (Harris et al. 2006).
The Low Skill Level. This group of teens fits the historical view of reluctant
readers who are “poor readers or those teenagers unable to read materials
written for their grade level” (Nelson 1998).
The Popular. These teens may be leaders in their schools; they are on the
prom committee, in clubs, and have large social groups of friends.
Socially accepted, they have many outside interests. Recreational
reading may not be an accepted part of their image and may not fit into
their schedule of activities.
The Outsiders. This group includes goths, skateboarders, and many other
teens who consider themselves alternative. These teens may frequent
4
the library to use technology but may not be aware that libraries have
books that would interest them, or they may feel that reading does not
fit their image.
The Turned Off. These teens most likely had a negative reading experience
somewhere along their educational journey. They may have struggled
with reading in class or found an assigned reading to be painful or
boring; they then associate that negative experience with reading in
general.
What about those teens who really do (or would) like to read but are in
desperate need of help in discovering books and literature they actually would
enjoy—yes, enjoy—reading? Recent reports such as the NEA’s “Reading at
Risk” and the 2006 Yankelovich Scholastic survey certainly paint a picture of
declining leisure reading among teenagers, with the Scholastic survey stating
that only 16 percent of 15–17-year-olds read for pleasure every day (Cart 2007).
Many teens do not seem to have the slightest idea where to find “fun” books or,
more likely, do not know that such books even exist. This lack of awareness of
enticing books designed specifically for teens, the very audience to which these
books are targeted, has not been helped by the fact that “years of bad marketing
have made it difficult to convince teens that there are young adult titles worth
reading” (Morris and Eaton 1999).
But convince them we must. If teens are to develop a lifelong reading
habit, the importance of pleasure reading during the teen years cannot be
underestimated. These days there is a “growing recognition that reading skills
need to be nurtured well into adolescence” (McGrath 2005). Combine this with
a new perspective from the publishing world on marketing and publishing for
teenagers indicating that “YA publishing [has never] been healthier” (McGrath
2005), and it is clear that this is the perfect moment for librarians, teachers, and
parents to grab the reins and lead teens straight to the entertaining, popular fare
that can help them appreciate the enjoyment that comes from reading. There
has never been a better time to convince teens that reading for pleasure is more
than okay—it can actually be a heck of a good time!
This brings us to the two reading lists created by committees of YALSA that
are the focus of this book. These lists are essential tools for successfully meeting
the challenge of encouraging all teens to read for pleasure. These are not only
especially appropriate lists for use with reluctant readers but also valuable for
leading any teen to a book he or she might like. Before now, these two helpful
resources had not been available in one book.
The first is the Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. The list was
inaugurated by a committed that started in 1982, the High Interest/Low Literacy
Level Materials Evaluation Committee. The committee produced an annual list
titled High-Interest Low Reading Level Booklist. In 1988, the list came to be
known as Recommended Books for the Reluctant Young Adult Reader, and
in 1995 the committee and its list became Quick Picks for Reluctant Young
5
Adult Readers (QP). The QP charge is “to prepare an annual annotated list of
recommended books appropriate for reluctant young adult readers” with the
purpose of reaching “young adults (ages 12–18) who, for whatever reasons,
do not like to read. The purpose of this list is to identify titles for recreational
reading, not for curricular or remedial use” (www.ala.org/yalsa/booklists/quick
picks/).
The second is the Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults (PPYA), born out of
collaboration with YALSA and Baker and Taylor in the late 1980s. Originally,
the list focused on five genres, with corresponding paperback dumps sold to
fit the books and the theme. When Baker and Taylor stopped supporting the
project in 1995, a new committee formed to “annually prepare one to five
annotated list(s) of at least ten and no more than twenty-five recommended
paperback titles, selected from popular genres, topics or themes.” The purpose
of the PPYA list is “to encourage young adults to read for pleasure by presenting
to them lists of popular or topical titles that are widely available in paperback
and represent a broad variety of accessible themes and genres” (www.ala.org/
yalsa/booklists/poppaper/).
This book highlights a decade’s worth of these two annual lists’ recommendations, books that can be used with young adults who are not avid readers.
Although the lists are not new, librarians and other practitioners may not
remember them as first options when doing readers’ advisory or looking for
themes. This book is most appropriate for young adult librarians, library media
specialists working in middle and high schools, English teachers, and students
and faculty in graduate schools of library and information science, but teens,
non-youth librarians, parents, and others who work with young adults may also
find it useful.
