'This text helps the reader understand that students do not just
learn to read in the primary grades. Students must continue to grow
and become more sophisticated readers if we expect them to master
varied content information and concepts. The strategies in this
book provide a framework to support content area teachers as they
strive to engage students and increase content literacy as well as
content mastery' - Crystal Leu, Director of Curriculum, Lakeland
School Corporation, LaGrange, IN Although reading is an essential
skill for learning in any discipline, many students in today's
secondary classrooms find reading tasks difficult and often fail to
complete those assignments. Now this proven, step-by-step
instructional model shows secondary teachers how to help students
boost their reading comprehension, acquire knowledge through their
reading, and process the information that they've learned.
Providing numerous classroom examples, the authors show teachers
how to use research-based, high-effect strategies before, during,
and after reading to increase student learning in various content
and subject areas. Teachers learn how to help students: - Prepare
for learning and anticipate reading assignments through pre-lesson
strategies such as previewing the text, activating prior knowledge,
and developing questions - Remain focused and engaged during
reading assignments through strategies such as reciprocal teaching,
jigsaw, and think-alouds - Process and internalize newly learned
information using strategies such as graphic organizers and
summaries Easy to implement, this method helps secondary teachers
improve students' content learning and reading ability at the same
time!
