Literature Circles for Adolescent Developmental Readers
Jeff Ragland; Crystal Palace
English Journal, v106 n6 p35-40 2017
This study introduced developmental adolescent readers to literature circles to balance literacy instruction based on students' needs. Providing students with the option to choose accessible novels to read, discuss, and connect with helps them experience the world of literacy as well as explore their own world in a way that most developmental students have not done before.
