Adolescent Literacy Support Project
Adolescent Literacy Support Project

The aim of the Adolescent Literacy Support Project (ALSP) is to create classroom learning environments that support increased science achievement through better and more purposeful reading. We are building and employing three literacy support tools for students’ and teachers’ use in the classroom. The use of these tools is coupled to disciplinary text and science assessment. Teachers couple their use of the tools with disciplinary text and science assessment as they implement the curriculum “Investigations in Environment Science.” We want to examine if increased opportunities in reading allows high school learners to better engage in science inquiry and increase their reading achievement and if these more structured reading opportunities in science influence learners’ science achievement.
