Adolescent Literacy

 

Abstract:

The 21st century has brought with it a tremendous evolution in how adolescents engage with text. As adolescents prepare to become productive citizens, they must be able to comprehend and construct information using print and nonprint materials in fixed and virtual platforms across disciplines. The International Reading Association offers this updated position statement as a guide for supporting adolescents’ ongoing literacy development.
