Reading Matters: Supporting the Development of Young Adolescent Readers.
Humphrey, Jack W.; Lipsitz, Joan; McGovern, John T.; Wasser, Judith Davidson
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n4 p305-11 Dec 1997
Since 1987, Indiana Middle Grades Reading Network, funded by Lily Endowment, initiated a variety of projects designed to promote young adolescents' reading. A Reading Bill of Rights was developed to create communities of readers. Some valuable lessons emerged: attention must be given to teens' reading needs; schools must be central; students need access to books; teachers must be readers; focusing on reading benefits all students.
