Here are some online resources related to content area reading, which I
compiled and annotated for my professional organization's newsletter.
Adolescent Literacy in the Content Areas (Knowledge Loom Spotlight)
http://knowledgeloom.org/adlit/index.jsp
This issue of the online newsletter from the Educational Alliance at Brown
University contains research, stories, and strategies related to four key
components of an effective adolescent literacy initiative: motivating
students to read; use of research-based strategies; support of reading and
writing across the curriculum; and organizational support. A separate
(136-page) document, Adolescent Literacy Resources, providing an in-depth
discussion of research, articles and books on adolescent literacy, can be
downloaded from this site.
