Abstract

National Assessment of Educational Progress data have indicated that many secondary students lack sufficient literacy skills, and that students who receive free/reduced-price lunch, students from rural settings, and students with disabilities are particularly low performing (National Center for Education Statistics, 2016, 2018). Therefore, at-risk secondary students require comprehensive interventions to attend to literacy needs and keep them in school. This paper details the collaborative school-based research of an intensive reading strategies intervention to address the needs of at-risk adolescents in two districts in one state.
