Straightforward, affordable, and practical, Improving Adolescent Literacy gives all middle and secondary school teachers instructional routines that will allow them to develop the content literacy skills of their students. Chapter-opening vignettes from actual classrooms show readers effective teaching in action and give them a look at how the chapterâs instructional approach works within content area teaching. Research-based rationales for each strategy follow the vignettes and provide an in-depth look at how to implement the strategy, along with examples of each strategy across the curriculum.
In this 5th Edition, the authors provide new classroom examples from their colleagues across the disciplines as well as new instructional routines that have been researched and validated since the publication of the last edition. Also, this edition has been re-organized, adding three new chapters, to focus on the ways in which teachers can use reading, writing, speaking, and listening in their classes, emphasizing reading and comprehending texts, creating graphic organizers, developing vocabulary knowledge, and writing to learn.
Industry Reviews
- Howard Parkhurst, Central Michigan University
"...my students enjoy this text. It is one text that I use in teaching that my students indicate they plan to keep for future reference. [Strengths include]... concrete, practical strategies and applications for the classroom... concrete examples for vocabulary development across many content areas... the variety of writing to learn activities and prompts."
- Laurie Henry, University of Kentucky
"The examples of vocabulary instruction in various content areas are helpful. The variety of writing strategies is helpful... I like that read-alouds, shared reading, and close reading are covered in the same chapter so that students can compare the differences... [The book] is reader-friendly and provides a nice overall of content area strategies."
- Amy Hutchinson, George Mason University
