The literacy skills adolescents now need to be successful in school and the workplace are much different from those of 20 years ago. Today, adolescents must engage in high literacy to achieve in the competitive, 21st century, global marketplace. In this article, the authors discuss workforce readiness as a framework for delivering literacy intervention that has the potential to make a significant impact on the success of adolescents who struggle. They address specific contributions of speech-language pathologists in this arena.

In this article, we describe Tips About Talk, a group-based prevention program we created to increase low-income caregivers' knowledge and use of positive talking strategies to facilitate their children’s speech, language, and literacy skills. Following this, we present findings from a study that evaluated the effectiveness of the program and describe the changes we have made to our services based on these findings.

In this article, the authors discuss research that addresses semantically related reading issues for children in poverty. In addition to providing a theoretical framework, the authors provide research-based intervention strategies and suggestions for speech-language pathologists to use to improve remediation efforts on vocabulary development, particularly in the area of semantic representation, for children who are at risk for developing reading disabilities.
