Synopsis

Every teacher can be a reading teacher with an assist from differentiated instruction experts Carolyn Chapman and Rita King. This teacher-friendly guide to infusing phonics, word analysis, vocabulary development, and comprehension strategies into subject-area instruction uses the same eclectic blend of differentiated instruction, multiple intelligences, scaffolding, constructivism, co-op learning, and other teaching methods and learning activities as the original Differentiated Instructional Strategies volume by Gregory & Chapman (Corwin, 2002). By linking reading in meaningful ways to the vocabularies of math, science, social studies, and literature, all students can improve learning and classroom achievement.
