Tailoring the Fit: Reading Instruction and Middle School Readers.
Ivey, Gay; Broaddus, Karen
Reading Teacher, v54 n1 p68-78 Sep 2000
Outlines evidence regarding adolescents' reading abilities and dispositions toward reading. Shows how current practices in middle school reading instruction constitute a mismatch with these young readers. Suggests teachers should: focus on independent reading, provide access to varied reading materials, approach reading instruction as a developmental process, and learn about individual students as readers and writers.
