Like its predecessor, "Literacy Instruction in the Content Areas,
Second Edition" is written for undergraduate, graduate, and
in-service teachers who want to integrate literacy processes into
their content area instruction. In addition to extensive updating
of earlier material, this new edition extends its coverage to
include new chapters on adolescents' out-of-school literacy
experiences and their in-school preferences, digital resources for
content learning, and considerations for the reading specialist. In
doing so, however, the authors have tried to maintain the brevity,
stylistic clarity, and classroom focus of the earlier volume.
Key features of this important new book include:
*Teaching Flexibility. Although written with the needs of
pre-service teachers in mind, theory and research are treated in
sufficient depth to make the book suitable for graduate courses and
for teacher study groups. It is also appropriate for secondary
reading specialists or literacy coaches responsible for
establishing or maintaining a school-wide literacy program.
*Changes in New Edition. All chapters have been reorganized and
most of the text rewritten. In addition, new chapters not usually
included in content area reading texts were added. These cover: 1)
adolescents' out-of-school literacy experiences and in-school
preferences; 2) digital resources for content learning; and 3)
considerations for the reading specialist.
*Socio-Cultural Perspective. Like other volumes in the "Literacy
Teaching Series," the perspective of this one is socio-cultural and
constructivist. It recognizes that classroom teaching and learning
are closely intertwined with surrounding school and
communitycultures as well as the culture and language of the
subject being studied. Likewise, literacy is not simply a matter of
reading and writing but involves using multiple literacies to
negotiate and construct meaning.
*Practical Orientation. Although supporting theory and research are
included in all chapters, instructional strategies with
illustrative examples from practicing teachers are included in most
chapters. Each chapter concludes with "Application Activities" and
"From Our Professional Library" references.
