"Adolescents entering the adult world in the 21st century will read and write more than at any other time in human history. They will

need advanced levels of literacy to perform their jobs, run their

households, act as citizens, and conduct their personal lives."

Richard Vacca

What the experts say.....

"Teachers can build a high-performing community of readers when they engage adolescents with thinking tools before, during, and after reading.( Daniels & Zelman, 2004)

"Students remember words when they are actively engaged with them." (Rozelle & Scearce, 2009)
