Being literate in an academic discipline means more than simply
being able to read and comprehend text; it means you can think,
speak, and write as a historian, scientist, mathematician, or
artist. Doug Buehl strips away the one-size-fits-all approach to
content area literacy and presents a much-needed instructional
model for disciplinary literacy, showing how to mentor middle and
high school learners to become "academic insiders" who are college
and career ready. This thoroughly revised second edition of
Developing Readers in the Academic Disciplines shows how to help
students adjust their thinking to comprehend a range of complex
texts that fall outside their reading comfort zones. This book -a
natural companion to Buehl's Classroom Strategies for Interactive
Learning, which has been bolstering student comprehension for
almost three decades-provides the following supports for teachers:
Instructional tools that adapt generic literacy practices to
discipline-specific variations Strategies for frontloading
instruction to activate and build background knowledge New
approaches for encouraging inquiry around disciplinary texts
In-depth exploration of the role of argumentation in informational
text Numerous examples from science, mathematics, history and
social studies, English/language arts, and related arts to show you
what vibrant learning looks like in various classroom settings
Developing Readers in the Academic Disciplines introduces teachers
from all disciplines to new kinds of thinking and, ultimately,
teaching that helps students achieve new levels of understanding.
