Synopsis

Many students today do not successfully learn their course content. Yet our curricula are largely print-based, and students must develop effective reading behaviours to be successful in school. This book provides middle school and high school educators with the resources they need to meet this challenge: literacy development strategies that emphasize effective learning in content contexts. Expanding on the first edition of this book, author Buehl addresses teachers outside the reading field who may not be familiar with the ideas that circulate in professional reading journals. Writing in a voice intended to read like teacher-to-teacher dialogue - one colleague sharing good ideas with another -he introduces readers to these ideas with a user-friendly collection of 45 literacy skill-building strategies that can easily be adapted for students from elementary to high school. With the development of state and national achievement standards in reading, writing, social studies, mathematics, science and other curricular areas, it is more important than ever for educators to develop the literacy skills of older students. The activities in this book should help you instill in your learners the skills and desire to read increasingly complex materials, and provide explicit instruction in reading comprehension and study strategies across the curriculum.
