The Essentials of Adolescent Literacy

Integrating Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Instruction in Grades 5-12

The science of reading isn’t just for younger learners—all middle and high school students, particularly those who struggle with foundational skills, benefit from literacy instruction. This groundbreaking book for Grades 5-12 is a practical guide for teaching reading and writing skills across all subject areas. 

Developed by Joan Sedita, the expert behind the bestseller The Writing Rope and author of the Keys to Adolescent Literacy professional development course, this book helps secondary educators understand the unique aspects of adolescent literacy. It provides practical suggestions for integrating reading and writing instruction into content-area classrooms and providing data-driven intervention for older struggling students.

A must for both preservice preparation and in-service professional development, this book equips teachers, reading specialists, and literacy coaches to teach the literacy skills students need for success in school and life.
