 |  | Approximately 8 million students in grades 4-12 are reading below grade level, and limited literacy skills cause 3,000 students to drop out of high school every school day. While the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001 triggered highly publicized reports on low levels of reading achievement in America’s elementary schools, middle and high school students face different but no less important literacy challenges. As a professional organization, NCTE is committed to the development of excellent literacy education through all grade levels. Here you can learn about the unique challenges of adolescent literacy, how current legislative proposals seek to bolster effective programs, and what research tells us about effective literacy instruction. |
