Lesesne, Teri (2003). Making the Match: The Right Book for the Right Reader at the Right Time, Grades 4-12. Portland, ME: Stenhouse. What motivates "typical teens" to become lifelong readers and others to slide by with the minimum amount of assigned reading? Teri Lesesne says the key is finding the books that get them hooked in the first place. She focuses on three distinct areas that will assist teachers and librarians in steering students to the literature they love.
