Advancing Adolescent Literacy

Time to Act: An Agenda for Advancing Adolescent Literacy for College and Career Success

Reflecting years of research, Time to Act is a watershed report on adolescent literacy from Carnegie Corporation of New York's Council on Advancing Adolescent Literacy. The Council also authored five corresponding reports, which delve deeper into how to advance literacy and learning for all students.

Time to Act pinpoints adolescent literacy as a cornerstone of the current education reform movement, upon which efforts such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act must be built. The report's recommendations intersect with the $4.35 billion Race to the Top competitive grant guidelines with their emphasis on standards and assessments, data systems, great teachers and leaders, and re-engineering struggling schools.


Time to Act is released with five corresponding reports, which delve deeper into how to advance literacy and learning for all students, including such topics as the cost of implementing adolescent literacy programs and reading in the disciplines:
