Think about this… Ensuring adequate ongoing literacy development for all students in the middle and high school years is a more challenging task than ensuring excellent reading education in the primary grades for two reasons: 1. Secondary school literacy skills are more complex, more embedded in subject matter and multi-faceted. 2. Adolescents are not universally motivated to read better or as interested in school- based reading as younger children.

Read The Passage Below: The Batsmen were merciless against the Bowlers. The Bowlers placed their men in slips and covers. But to no avail. The Batsmen hit one four after another along with an occasional six. Not once did their balls hit their stumps or get caught.
