AdLit.org is a national multimedia project offering information and resources to the parents and educators of struggling adolescent readers and writers. AdLit.org is an educational initiative of WETA, the flagship public television and radio station in the nation's capital, and is funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York and by the Ann B. and Thomas L. Friedman Family Foundation.
For some struggling readers, the difficulties start as they try to sound out words. Older readers with weak phonics and decoding skills have specific needs that must be met before they can progress. Articles in this section shed light on the topic, and provide examples of ways teachers and parents can help.

“After spending the previous day in a seminar about Academic Vocabulary, I was pleased to receive the AdLit.org web page. It complements the previous day's program by providing all sorts of useful items (e.g., Exit Slips) that can be used to improve the cognitive abilities of the special education students that I teach. Thank you. Keep up the fine work!”
