This paper explores ways to remedy adolescents’ failure to acquire
reading-to-learn skills and explains the importance of being able to
understand texts from diverse disciplines in order to be successful
in the professional workplace and enhance overall life chances. The
authors suggest that inquiry-centered learning environments in schools
might better prepare students for the educational demands of careers
in the 21 century labor market. They also offer suggestions about how
these learning environments might better be coupled with the support
of reading and literacy.
