Description
“Do I really have to teach reading?” This is the question many teachers of adolescents are asking, wondering how they can possibly add a new element to an already overloaded curriculum. And most are finding that the answer is “yes.” If they want their students to learn complex new concepts in different disciplines, they often have to help their students become better readers.
The book includes:

- detailed descriptions of specific strategies taught in context;
- stories from different high school classrooms to show how reading instruction varies according to content;

- guidance on assessing students;
- tips for balancing content and reading instruction.
