ith the publication of the Carnegie Report on middle and high school literacy (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004), the International Reading Association's position statement on adolescent literacy (Moore et al., 1999), and the RAND (2002) report on reading comprehension, adolescent literacy has become a major issue for education and policy. The findings of this study can be used to understand current trends in what is published for and read by adolescents. This knowledge Cartier Replica Watches can be useful to teachers and school librarians in deciding on books they choose to include in their classroom, school, and public libraries, and can help them be more aware of what is and what is not being represented in the literature. For example, diversity is one area where the findings reported here can be useful.
The lack of cultural diversity in YA literature indicates that educators will need to make special efforts to seek out and use quality books that include diverse characters, and that publishers should increase their efforts to make available YA books that include multicultural characters and discuss issues related to race and diversity in significant ways.
Also, as society continues to change with technological advances, adolescent literacy and the texts teens come into contact with are changing. Information comes at us piecemeal, causing the need to blend multiple perspectives and points of view into one cohesive whole. New forms of print have emerged (e.g., e-mail, text messaging) that encourage teens to learn to read new text types and text structures. Adolescents have to learn to make sense of all of the available information, judge what is accurate and what is biased, and be selective in the information they accept. "We need to prompt young people to question the interpretation of the world that the media tries to sell them. They need to learn to be critics and creators of meaning Cartier Pasha Replica for themselves". As these textual features are incorporated into YA literature, it is important to help teens learn how to comprehend these changing forms of print. By bringing YA literature into the classroom, particularly literature that incorporates these new textual forms, opportunities are provided to help students navigate these new forms.
As the field of adolescent literacy continues to grow, it is important to explore the multiple types of "texts" that play a role in adolescents' literacy development. This work provides empirical grounding for policy statements that can be useful to publishers, classroom teachers, and community-based educators.
