I think what may be helpful are examples of hooks, or limes which grab an audience immediately. The line makes you want to continue reading. Here and here are posts about hooks. Below are two examples. The second is about Coco Gauff by Jason Gay, written last week in the WSJ. Try showing your teen good examples from literature, such as the opening paragraph from The Hobbit. Best of luck teaching your teen how to write.
