This URL leads to the University of Connecticut page for Adolescent Literacy, but if you scroll down and look on the left side, there are hot buttons for all grade levels, special needs, ELL, and adult literacy.
At the bottom of the page, there are numerous sites with suggested reading lists for adolescents. I did find one broken link, and another that was an internal site for an organization; but, the majority were working sites with lists and reviews.
In the other sections, many links take you to sites with even more links to articles on literacy and teens - both saying there is a problem, and ways to help. There is an amazing amount of information here! Parents might find the information a bit overwhelming since these articles are directed toward teaching professionals, and not always in "parent friendly" language. You could literally spend hours on this site.
Please take a few moments and browse through. I think everyone int he class will be able to find something here, regardless of grade / area.
