Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The main objective of this thesis is to identify the reading achievement of incarcerated youth and highlight practical solutions for educators to increase literacy achievement among incarcerated youth. For the purpose of this analysis the term literacy includes fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. The target population for this literature review is incarcerated juvenile delinquents 18 years of age or younger who attend school while in a residential facility, including short-term detention, long-term secure custody and residential treatment. Research supports the fact that incarcerated youth who enter juvenile facilities perform significantly below grade level in reading skills. This thesis also sheds some light on the implementation of effective, evidence-based reading instruction as a way to reduce recidivism rates among youth and help them become literate members of society."--leaf 4.

Download or read book Literacy written by Jennifer Sweeney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-12-19 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploration of juvenile corrections librarianship provides a complete description of these specialized services, addresses unique challenges in this library environment, and promotes intellectual and social growth for at-risk youth. The facts regarding juvenile corrections are grim. In California alone, 13,000 youth are housed as wards of the state. Rearrest rates for young people in detention and correction facilities range from 77 to 90 percent. The good news is youth corrections librarianship has the potential to improve the situation. This book fills a gap in the literature on corrections librarianship, which is focused almost solely on adult prisons. Programs for juvenile offenders require significantly more emphasis on education and rehabilitation than adults. There is also greater urgency in delivering needed services to youth offenders. Literacy: A Way Out for At-Risk Youth provides librarians in juvenile detention facilities with tools to face their unique challenges, such as collaborating with corrections staff and encouraging youth to maintain their connection to the library after release. The author's recommendations for reader's advisory, collection development, and other services are geared toward helping teens cope with their problems and develop better decision making skills.
