Thank You, Mrs. Bean: Seeking Balance for Students Who Struggle as Readers.

Vacca, Richard T.

Voices from the Middle, v8 n4 p8-14 May 2001

Discusses what it means to struggle as a reader, lacking competence with reading strategies and lacking confidence in oneself to make meaning with texts. Argues that balance can be found in adolescent reading programs by seeking equilibrium between the visible and invisible aspects of instruction in the development and use of reading strategies. (SR)
