Adolescent Literacy
VUE Number 3, Winter/Spring 04
While most attention on literacy has focused on early reading, educators are recognizing the serious literacy deficits of high school students. Literacy is much more than being able to read literary texts; students must be "literate" in all their subjects if they are to get more than the most basic information from their textbooks and other resources. The four articles in this issue consider who is responsible for ensuring that adolescents are literate and how students can be encouraged to expand their literacy skills through both conventional and unconventional forms.

While most attention on literacy has focused on early reading, educators are recognizing the serious literacy deficits of high school students. Literacy is much more than being able to read literary texts; students must be "literate" in all their subjects if they are to get more than the most basic information from their textbooks and other resources. The four articles in this issue consider who is responsible for ensuring that adolescents are literate and how students can be encouraged to expand their literacy skills through both conventional and unconventional forms.
