The Announcement


"Jeffrey Wilhelm (1995) reminds us that most of reading for struggling, reluctant adolescent readers focuses on cracking codes instead of creating meaning. He goes on to state that the role of the reader as an active meaning maker-one who connects personally with what is read, who spends pleasurable and stirring time with stories, and who might judge or resist the text and its author-is essentially precluded from the act of reading. The way literature is mediated has a profound effect on adolescents' engagement with literature"
