Summer.

High School graduates still have the aftertaste of the graduation party and now are preoccupied with summer holidays.

While my bro, a 9th grade graduate, can chill for the entire season, he will work on his academic interests and chill.

Along with participating in extracurricular summer programs, he will be reading books, however cliche it sounds.

Reading a book is like investing in real-estate. As long as you get the right book/estate, you are in a slowly-but-surely growing business.

No need for a solid schedule or a measurable goal - how many pages to read daily, specific deadlines - in the beginning. Planning is important, I'd say, when and if there is already a vivid picture of what exactly you need and want to read.

I started the process with whatever I had in hand - a fairy-tale collection, a magazine, or a random novel. Bit by bit, it's been getting more clear what genre/author's style is mine and what book to read next.

The difference between a "good" book and a "bad" one for me is the first ten pages.

Asking for advice on what to read from others is also better done in later stages, I believe. Suggested books are better added on the foundation laid by you.
