Building Reading Proficiency at the Secondary Level: A Guide to Resources

With the goal of building a guide to resources, this publication reviews the scholarly literature to determine: (a) current theoretical perspectives and research findings on building reading proficiency at the secondary level and (b) their implications for classroom instruction. Rather than reporting all the factors that can impact secondary-level reading proficiency, the publication presents those for which a research base establishes essential importance and for which there are pedagogical implications. We identified and described programs and strategies that aligned with those findings.
