Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, EDU Teaching and Learning.
Secondary instructors have long been faced with students who struggle to read and write effectively. There have been many explanations for these struggles, ranging from students not being taught effectively in their elementary grade levels, students being passed from one grade to the next without mastering the skills required of that grade level, or students simply being lazy and not putting forth adequate effort (Hall, 2005). Regardless of the explanation for student struggles, secondary teachers recognize there is a need to add literacy instruction to their secondary classrooms and career-technical labs. Many of these teachers have already found ways of including these skills, others are open to the idea of adding literacy skills as long as it does not come at the expense of their content area, and a few believe that their class time is already too short and there is no room for added content. Increasing the literacy skills of secondary students will help them be more successful and more productive citizens in society.
