The Departed Girl, Amber Moore

National Youth Advocacy and Resilience Journal

This poem is inspired by a participant in Sunde-Peterson’s (2014) case study that explored how a gifted youth faced adversity.

Lessons Learned From A Nontraditional Sports Program: Crossfit Kids For Youth At Risk, Christina M. Gipson, Tamerah Hunt, Michael T. Moore

Five Oral Reading Fluency Strategies For Supporting Struggling Adolescent Readers, Kavin M. Ming

National Youth Advocacy and Resilience Journal

By the time students enter the fourth grade, it is expected that they possess the basic literacy skills needed to read and learn content. It is the general belief that in the early grades, students are taught foundational literacy skills that make them proficient readers by the time they become adolescent learners. For many, this assumption is true. However, for a large majority of students between Grades 4 and 12, basic literacy skills are not in place, leading them to struggle to acquire information. Oral reading fluency, one of the basic literacy skills that adolescents must possess, can be explicitly …
