Rush’s article is a case study of three middle school students who were involved in a program to improve reading comprehension and critical literacy skills.

The article explains the elements of the Four Resources Model and then proceeds to examine the case studies and connect the teaching and learning to this model. This was the main strategy used with the students to get them thinking critically about texts. Rush also used the students personal experiences and interests to engage them with the texts. All three students showed differing abilities in literacy at the end of the program. / /
