Adolescent literacy in grades 6–12 is a gateway to success across all subject areas. As texts, tasks, and disciplinary demands become more complex, students must integrate reading comprehension, writing, vocabulary, and knowledge building in intentional ways. If students don’t have a solid foundation in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and effective literacy instruction, it’s much harder for them to learn what they need.
