“Life is a gift. Don't forget to live it.”  –  Nicola Yoon, Everything, Everything
Dear AdLit Readers,
We're taking a trip down memory lane with some of our favorite books, authors, and resources in recent years. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
 

Speak soon,
For the Love of Teaching: 
A Few of Our Favorite AdLit Things!
AdLit has a wealth of supports for teachers building students' reading skills and will! Here are a few of our favorites!
Looking for a way to get students engaged in topics and themes in your English or History classes? Text sets hook students curiosity through music, videos, speeches, collections of books, and more. Teacher Bonus: It's a really fun way to teach content!
 
If you are trying to figure out the wide and sometimes confusing world of adolescent literacy, delve into our AdLit 101 modules. You can jump into any topic that interests you or your staff to learn practical advice on teaching reading and writing to adolescent learners. 
  What does an adolescent literacy intervention look like? We took a look at an 8th grade intervention where students were engaged, working hard, and having fun as they strengthened their literacy skills.
