Reading Resistance in Middle School: What Can Be Done?
Baker, Marianne I.
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v45 n5 p364-66 Feb 2002
Presents an interview with a middle school student, a boy of Caucasian and African American descent. Notes that the student's candid thoughts on reading provoked the author to wonder about the middle school reading experience, especially for those who resist it. Looks at choice, time, and the classroom to help students become engaged readers. (SG)
