| Adolescent Literacy and the Achievement Gap: What Do We Know and Where Do We Go From Here? by Catherine Snow and Gina Biancarosa | Research review. "...we must start learning simultaneously from research and from practice..." "...The minority achievement gap results primarily from the poor literacy accomplishments of African-American, Latino, ELL, and low-income children in the United States. Shrinking the gap will require improving literacy instruction for those groups in particular. While we know what to do to ensure widespread success at 3rd grade reading, we know much less about how to help pre-adolescents and adolescents with the challenges of learning to read to learn, reading in the content areas, and reading critically." |
