At a time when the postsecondary job market increasingly is demanding high literacy skills, the Carnegie Corporation of New York launched an initiative to focus national attention on adolescent literacy and to advance literacy among young people--defined as encompassing reading and writing in grades 4 through 12--by promoting policy, practice, and research in this field. The current report is a foundational study undertaken over the course of a year to analyze the state of adolescent achievement in literacy in the US. Its data show that the nation faces a tremendous educational challenge that cannot be solved through standards mandates alone. The report has no subject index.
