Key Component A -- Motivation:
A successful adolescent literacy initiative takes into account the diverse cultural, linguistic, social, and emotional needs of adolescents.

The following are promising practices related to Key Component A.

To establish a positive literacy culture means to make reading, writing, speaking, and listening integral parts of the culture of each classroom and of the school. Members of the school community celebrate student writing; they emphasize books and information; they solicit student opinions. A visitor to the school/classroom will notice the active use and incorporation of language into teaching and learning and will see artifacts in the classroom environment. Upon observation of administration, teachers, and students, a visitor will see evidence of connections, interaction, and responsiveness.
