Literacy and learning in the content areas (Third edition.)

This volume helps readers build the knowledge, motivation, tools and confidence they need as they integrate literacy into their middle and high school content area classrooms.

Its unique approach to teaching content area literacy actively engages preservice and practicing teachers in reading and writing and the very activities that they will use to teach literacy to their own students in middle and high school classrooms.

Rather than passively learning about strategies for incorporating content area literacy activities, readers get hands-on experience in such techniques as mapping/webbing, anticipation guides, booktalks, class websites and journal writing and reflection.
