Literacy on the Edge: How Close Are We to Closing the Literacy Achievement Gap?
Alvermann, Donna E.
Voices from the Middle, v13 n1 p8-14 Sep 2005
Alvermann introduces us to a new metaphor for thinking about the ways in which teachers might intervene in their students' reading lives: re/mediation. Ultimately, it involves fixing the conditions in which students learn rather than attempting to fix the students per se (remediation).
