"This guide is intended to support professional learning on adolescent literacy. It recognizes that there is no one lesson, single strategy, program or course that meets all the needs of adolescent literacy development. Supporting teens in acquiring literacy requires on-going work by educators in all subjects and all grades."-- Publisher.
