Bibliontology: Supporting Literacy and Positive Youth Development Through Literature in the Remedial Reading Classroom
Brief Program Description
Educators and policy makers who impact the current remedial reading curriculum designs in secondary schools can no longer assume that at-risk students who enter these classrooms do not have the potential for academic success and personal growth. Through a new learning taxonomy, coupled with bibliontology (the use of adolescent literature to promote positive youth development), students within secondary remedial reading courses can be remediated AND accelerated at the same time!
