Young Adult Literature in the Classroom--Or Is It?
Bushman, John H.
English Journal, v86 n3 p35-40 Mar 1997
Questions the use of classic literature in the lower secondary school grades and reports on a survey of reading experience and habits, both in and outside of school, among 380 students in grades 6-12. Suggests that young adult literature can do what schools have not--turn adolescents into avid readers. (TB)
