Abstract: The purpose of this study is to synthesize findings from the research studies from \n1980 to 2004 (N=30) that examine effects of reading interventions on reading \nperformance for adolescents (grades 6–12) with learning disabilities (LD), as well \ninformation collected through focus group interviews of reading professionals in the \nsecondary schools concerning their use and perceptions of effective reading \ninterventions. Results reveal that practitioners have limited opportunities to learn about \nand utilize identified effective interventions in a meaningful way. This research confirms \nthe need for consideration of social validity issues related to secondary consumers of \nadolescent reading intervention research design so to increase the likelihood of the \nadoption and sustainability of research-based effective practices in classrooms; and that \nfeasibly of implementation within the constraints of the school environment is an area in \nneed of address.
