Give FeedbackSexual Terminology and Literature
Our students have been trying unsuccessfully for years to learn to read beyond their fairly limited sight vocabulary. Many students still have trouble with onesyllable words and guess wildly and wrongly at two, three and four syllable words. Their feelings of discouragement are enormous. They are still willing to try, but they need to work with reading materials that are at their level of interest and maturity. They read on the level of an elementary school student, but they cannot be given reading materials designed for children. Clearly, reading materials with sexual content are designed for young adults and are of interest to high school students.
