Adopt-An-Author is a free nationwide non-profit program designed to excite young adults about reading and writing through the use of best-selling thrillers, heroic non-fiction stories, motivational books and direct contact with the authors via personal appearances, classroom phone calls, e-mails, and interactive websites.
Originated by high school teachers who began using Meg (rated #1 book for reluctant readers) to motivate their students to read, the program was organized by the book’s author, educator Steve Alten, as a way to get young adults excited about reading.
While young children receive an abundance of encouragement to read during their preschool to grade-5 years, such as the successful Reading is Fundamental program, once a student reaches middle and high school, reading is replaced by television, video games and social media.
