Advancing Adolescent Literacy Instruction Together

May/June 2008
Addressing Classroom Diversity Through Literature

“If language is supposed to be about communication, what is it we are doing when books fail to communicate with our students? I learned about how teachers can reach students with literature through my own experiences as a learner; and those lessons, which I want to share with you, were reinforced by my own experiences as a teacher.”
―Edna Thomas
