Description

Prompted by state and federal mandates, school districts are focusing their attention on improving adolescents' literacy skills and increasingly turning to literacy coaches for instructional support. This rare resourse for secondary-level coaches focuses on five pillars of adolescent literacy-time to read for enjoyment, choice in reading materials, stategies for reading text, vocabulary instruction, and motivation to read-and demonstrates how coaches can work effectively with middle and high school teachers across the content areas.
