This October 2004 issue of Adolescent Literacy In Perspective focuses on "When Adolescents Can't and Won't Read." This online, downloadable publication of the Ohio Resource Center features David Bloome's well-researched article, "Complex Human Activities Taking Place in Complex Human Relationships." The publication examines theme of adolescent reading through two shared classroom vignettes--"Working with Struggling Readers" by LeeAnn K. Binion and "Creating a Recipe for Reading Success" by Tammy Burt. Both articles include a glimpse inside a typical adolescent classroom where motivation, engagement, choice, and struggling readers all consume a teacher's energy. Both authors look beyond the limitations imposed by the problems to suggest solutions. Carol Brown Dodson continues to examine test preparation for the Ohio Graduation Test in her article, "Informational Text and Author's Purpose." Additionally, a list of helpful educational links to professional development sites is included. (author/ebm)
