Description

OUR HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOMS ARE FILLED WITH STRUGGLING READERS. WE RECOGNIZE SOME OF THEM BY THEIR INATTENTION TO DETAIL, LACK OF ENGAGEMENT WITH TEXT, AND REFUSAL TO USE READING COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES. BUT MANY OF OUR STRUGGLING READERS ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY. READERS AT EVEN THE MOST ADVANCED LEVELS OF SKILL BECOME STRUGGLING READERS WHEN FACED WITH THE COMPLICATED VOCABULARY, THE CONFUSING SYNTAX, AND THE CHALLENGING CONTENT THAT HIGH SCHOOL COURSES DEMAND. Because of today's public educational environment, which requires high-stakes testing by state mandate and the No Child Left Behind Act, many schools are developing programs and strategies aimed at improving students' reading scores on these tests. Public schools, especially those whose scores are not improving, are emphasizing reading instruction at all levels and in all subject areas. They are developing programs and strategies designed to meet the needs of their struggling readers, and they are implementing them school-wide. At the same time, teachers are being asked to collaborate with one another to make these initiatives happen. This article presents a successful collaborative project designed to implement a successful reading strategy--reciprocal teaching (see Text Box 1)--within the confines of students' library research.
