An Exploration of Prevalence and Usage of Hi-Lo Texts in Today's Classrooms
Winter, Marna K.; O'Neill, Kristen
Reading & Writing Quarterly, v39 n6 p455-469 2023
The need for High-Interest Low-Readability books (Hi-Lo) has been acknowledged by reading specialists and teachers alike since the 1900s, yet there is a research gap regarding teacher knowledge of and access to these books. This study sought to understand teacher awareness of Hi-Lo books, access to them, and usage within classrooms in the United States. Utilizing a mixed methods survey shared via social media platforms, teachers gave their perceptions of and experiences with Hi-Lo texts. Findings point to knowledge of Hi-Lo books among teachers, but a lack of usage in the classrooms, which is influenced by stakeholders involved in curricular decision-making.
