Originally published in 1988. Much has changed since then in schools. Mobile technologies, interactive whiteboards, digital texts, class websites, student-authored blogs, social networking and photo sharing sites found integrated into so many classrooms hadn’t even been imagined by most educators. What hasn’t changed, however, are the developmental needs of adolescents. A sense of competence, opportunities for creative expression, positive social interactions, and opportunities for self-definition remain centrally important. Similarly, print literacy (i.e., reading and writing with traditional orthography) continues to contribute strongly to academic success, employment opportunity, health, and life satisfaction. Consequently, this book remains very relevant today. Through case descriptions of literacy programs situated in formal and informal settings, the book draws attention to the ways that developmental appropriateness and engaging literacy instruction can assist all youth in reaching their full potential as readers and writers.

SMART! A Reading Tutor's Guide is a complete handbook for adults who want to help teens excel at reading and learning. SMART! is also an indispensable aid in setting up a tutoring practice. It covers all aspects of individual reading instruction from word recognition through in-depth understanding at the advanced high-school level. With this guide, any educated person, even if one who has never taught before, can help teens read well, love reading, and become motivated, independent learners. While this book focuses on teaching teens, its use isn't confined to one age group. Teachers who work with younger children are using the ideas in SMART! to help their students become more confident, enthusiastic readers. At the same time, instructors of college students and adults will find practices here to help their students master the demands of higher level academic reading. High-quality tutoring transforms students' lives. As a tutor for more than three decades, Sylvia Keepers has had the opportunity and pleasure of playing a part in hundreds of such transformations. Teens and children no one had been able to help before now succeed regularly in school and in life as a result of her efforts. In SMART!, Sylvia shares winning practices, attitudes, and tips that will allow other tutors to experience a new level of success with their own students.

A high level of literacy in both print and digital media is required for negotiating most aspects of 21st-century life, including supporting a family, education, health, civic participation, and competitiveness in the global economy. Yet, more than 90 million U.S. adults lack adequate literacy. Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction synthesizes the research on literacy and learning to improve literacy instruction in the United States and to recommend a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy. The book focuses on individuals ages 16 and older who are not in K-12 education. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment,and accommodations for learning. There is inadequate knowledge about effective instructional practices and a need for better assessment and ongoing monitoring of adult students' proficiencies, weaknesses, instructional environments, and progress, which might guide instructional planning. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction recommends a program of research and innovation to validate, identify the boundaries of, and extend current knowledge to improve instruction for adults and adolescents outside school. The book is a valuable resource for curriculum developers, federal agencies such as the Department of Education, administrators, educators, and funding agencies.

"This present study explores how 21st century literacies can be developed through the K-12 ELL curriculum by using online communication resources. It also investigates how culturally and linguistically diverse English language learners (ELLs) negotiate their multilayered, dynamic, and fluid meaning-making activities through the 21st century literacies practices in out-of-school settings. The purpose of this study is to understand the culturally rich, relevant out-of-school literacy practices of adolescent ELLs in an after school educational setting using online interactive communication media. These readers and writers in the 21st century are presented with new opportunities as well as challenges (including learning how to use the abundance of new technological tools that are available to develop their literacy skills). At the same time the context of what is required of learners is changing. Thus, these transformations challenge and reshape our understanding of what it means to be literate in our 21st century. In recognition of the importance of 21st century literacies in classrooms, there is a growing body of research documenting how such new technologies are being used and experienced in the classroom. Very little research has been done at the K-12 level, however this is where most English language instruction takes place in the U.S. To fill this research gap, this study will utilize a multiple case study approach through constructivist theoretical perspectives to present a thick description of what literacy practices occur in out-of-school online spaces, and what those literacy practices mean to adolescent ELLs. Multiple data sources were triangulated, including observation fieldnotes, interviews, and artifacts. This study illustrates how to promote culturally and linguistically diverse ELLs' literacy attainment by extending literacy learning opportunities in and out of school. Findings from this study can contribute to the long term challenges of ELL literacy reform efforts by informing (a) the better understanding of ELLs' unique language learning needs, (b) teaching practices, (c) the design of ELL curriculum, and (d) the development of ELL teacher education"--Page v.
