Educators say their students respond to teen-written stories because they want to hear "stories from people like them." Executive Director Keith Hefner explains the intensive and unique writing program that produces Youth Communication's award-winning stories. Youth Communication stories model good decision-making and encourage readers to think morally and ethically about the world. Educators draw resistant readers in with Youth Communication's content, then use the stories to teach grammar, reading comprehension, and critical thinking. Students "pay much more attention to assignments" when teachers use Youth Communication stories, says James O'Neal, executive director of Legal Outreach. Teacher Rodrick Michaels explains how Real Men addresses the emotional and behavioral issues of his high school students. |
