Synopsis

Introducing prospective and practicing teachers to K-12 content reading strategies, the text provides a defined theoretical rationale (Part 1) as well as grade-specific teacher journals to show how the theories function/operate in real classrooms (Part II). Includes specific applications for six content areas: English/Language Arts, Second Language, Science, Social Studies, Math, and Activity Classrooms (Chs. 4-7), as well as end-of-chapter applications. Two new chapters on Studying and Student Inquiry (Chs. 7, 8). New treatment on how classroom settings influence literacy development, cyclical instruction, interdisciplinary units, and classroom grouping practices. Integrated coverage of reading and writing- literacy. Updated coverage of trade books, computer technology and multicultural literacy to reflect current trends. Book-specific website offers teaching strategies, activities, and exercises.
