Reviews
“An enduring work…. In one volume, we have the major figures of the adolescent literacy community sharing their understanding of effective practices, the insights that guide those practices and important program development issues.”—Donald J. Leu, PhD, University of Connecticut
“This cutting-edge volume combines the most recent theories and innovations in adolescent literacy with rich, down-to-earth, classroom-based perspectives. Attention to disciplinary contexts and domains, as well as the recognition that students need teacher scaffolding and guidance in order to move toward independent learning ar mainstays of the book. I particularly like the presence of student voices and the fact that each includes a summary discussion and extension activities. I could see using this book as a main text in an adolescent literacy course or as a resource for professional development.”—Thomas W. Bean, PhD. University of Nevada, Las Vegas
