From the supplier: Educators can facilitate literacy learning for young adolescents by incorporating their interests into the learning process. The developmental tasks of learning more complex social skills, coping with body changes and sexuality and forming personal identities motivate young adolescents to communicate. Cooperative learning, peer editing and paired readings can capitalize on their desire to communicate with others. Other group learning activities can be designed to provide students with meaningful literacy tasks and at the same time meet their developmental needs.
