Middle School Readers: Common Views, Different Worlds.

Karr, Rita; Julian, Leslie Verzi

ALAN Review, v26 n2 p39-42 Win 1999

Describes the authors' experiences as two middle school teachers (one in a small rural county, one in a large metropolitan school). Finds that using many young adult novels in the classroom unlocks the door of resistance to reading education and resistance to learning. Shares their experiences and strategies, describing classroom activities, curriculum units, and students' perspectives. (SR)
