Document Number: 8823 Adolescent Literacy - As technology advances and the American economy grows increasingly knowledge based, individuals must be able to read, write and communicate at higher levels in order to remain economic and social contributors. A student’s level of literacy is a critical determinant of success in secondary school and beyond.
