Improving Adolescent Literacy: Content Area Strategies at Work, 5th Edition

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.\n\nChapter-opening vignettes from actual classrooms show readers effective teaching in action and give them a look at how the chapter�s 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.Improving Adolescent Literacy: Content Area Strategies at Work 5th Edition is written by Douglas Fisher; Nancy Frey and published by Pearson.
