Due to ongoing advancements in technology, new demands of higher educational standards, state testing and the diverse needs of today’s adolescents, the field of adolescent literacy is rapidly changing. Content Area Literacy: Learners in Context provides teachers with tools for using content literacy to meet these demands by focusing on the learners and their unique contexts. Using cutting edge research in the field, Dr. Conley not only presents research-based teaching practices, but also connects the practices to learning strategies for students. As a result, instructors no longer have to “invent” practical applications or “suggest” learning outcomes for students. As Dr. Donald Deshler from the Center for Research on Learning states “Dr. Conley has done a brilliant job of describing the context within which educational solutions must be generated and the form that these solutions must take in order to be embraced by teachers as well as to be sufficiently powerful to significantly improve student outcomes.”

Your colleagues are talking up a storm about Content Area Literacy:
“This text presents a strong integration of theory, research and practice. It is the best on the market. My students will appreciate the writing style, abundant strategies, and current research. Teachers will appreciate the extra guidance in making accommodations for English learners and special needs learners. It is a wonderful addition to all content teachers’ libraries.”
Terrell Young, Washington State University
“This [text] is very well done, well-researched, and provides a comprehensive treatment of the learner, of content, and of the many instructional considerations and strategies that can positively influence students learning ― in all content areas for really, all grade levels.”
Kathy Misulis, East Carolina University:
“The classroom scenarios are a definite aid in understanding the various pedagogical approaches presented in the text. The research briefs offer sound reasoning and support for the pedagogical approaches presented.”
Alyson Naquin, Nicholls State University
“I particularly like how ELLs, struggling readers, and motivation are addressed throughout the book rather than in one chapter.”
Nancy Kolodziej, Tennessee Technological University
