This book helps teachers to infuse literacy instruction into all content areas!

The authors present a rich panoply of engaging instructional strategies that research has shown to be effective for improving reading and writing in middle and secondary school students. After discussing common questions asked by content area teachers, a full chapter is devoted to each of eight strategies―anticipatory activities, read-alouds/shared reading, questioning, notetaking/notemaking, graphic organizers, vocabulary instruction, writing to learn, and reciprocal teaching―coupling discussions with examples from the author's own research in a diverse, urban secondary school.

Additionally, in order to meet the challenge of today's inclusive, multicultural classrooms, the book presents only those strategies that have been proven effective with all learners - including struggling readers and those for whom English is not their first language.

NEW! Benefits for English Language Learners chapter headings signal specific ideas for guiding English learners toward mastery in literacy.
NEW! Struggling Readers features notesprovide specific guidance for implementing each instructional strategy with readers who struggle.
NEW! Media Notes throughout chapters clarify opportunities to use different technologies to enhance teaching.

Review

Gay Ivey ― James Madison University

This is a highly practical and useable book for a range of teachers and teacher candidates. Across the book, what I find most helpful are the descriptions of actual lessons. Unlike most content area methods books on the market, this book seems to include real examples. You get the feeling that the authors spend much time in high school classrooms and have a good feel of what’s currently happening and what works. Especially valuable are examples of the strategies across different subject areas.

Margot Kinberg, National University

The various topics are applied to many different content areas, so that nearly every teacher is likely to find a strategy that he or she can use. Each chapter contains helpful graphics, useful concrete examples, and content-based strategies for implementing the various strategies in the classroom. The book is very practical, easy to read, and well organized. Information is easy to find and the busy practicing or pre-service teacher would no doubt find it to be a handy reference.

Karen Ford, Ball State University

The information is theoretically quite sound. It provides the students with a wealth of strategies to facilitate comprehension.

Just rented this for a class requirement but the content within is very relevant for a future teacher or someone planning to home school. Many helpful ideas and examples to engage children in literacy.

Great resources for content-area teachers struggling with the literacy component of CCSS. English and reading teachers: you can use this book to support your content-area colleagues! Easy to use and easy to understand.

his more current work with Frey is better considering their emphasis on the Common Core

Fisher has written quite a bit about literacy, however, his more current work with Frey is better considering their emphasis on the Common Core.
