Adolescents are expected to learn content from a variety of texts. Teachers who use informational text in their lessons find that many students struggle to understand the content. This curated set of adolescent literacy resources were developed with funding from the Institute of Education Sciences and the Office of Special Education Programs to support all learners in science, social studies, and English language arts classrooms.
