The Creation of a Ninth Grade Literacy Course: One Teacher's Experiences in Teaching a Standards-Based Literacy Course
type: CreativeWork
description: This study examined one teacher’s experience with teaching a ninth grade literacy course. In response to consecutively low reading test scores, the administration in a rural high school in South Central Kentucky established a literacy course for all ninth grade students. This research illustrates the teacher’s implementation and instruction of that course. In addition, the research investigates how the results of a formal reading assessment might be used to improve the reading course in the future.
