For English teachers, Appleman (educational studies, Carleton College) argues for a combination of teaching literature with reading, and offers methods to teach reading to adolescents in literature classrooms. She connects research-based principles from Adolescent Literacy: An NCTE Policy Research Brief from the National Council of Teachers of English (included with the text) to classroom practice, including research on sociocultural and cognitive contexts of literacy learning, reading, and the effectiveness of literacy instruction. She then discusses the concept of "text," how to rethink it, and practices to help students see a range of literacies in their experiences; how to reframe a literature lesson to include reading strategies; how to help struggling readers; the impact of gender; assessment; and extending reading into the community.
