Building Content Literacy
This guide presents research-based strategies that enable secondary teachers to increase adolescent learning while meeting standards by incorporating reading, writing, and critical thinking into content instruction.
Teaching Reading in Content Areas
"By the time an elementary or secondary school student has finished a course, much of what he has learned may already be outdated. Clearly, learning of facts cannot be the main goal of formal education. Students must be prepared to understand key concepts and know how to acquire further knowledge on their own. This practical guide book for elementary and secondary school teachers is founded on two basic premises: 1) Students need to be taught how to learn, and 2) too few teachers know how to guide their students' learning - to develop content and process at the same time. Many practice "assumptive teaching," giving assignments without adequate guidance and assuming students know how to learn the material assigned. Teaching Reading in Content Areas is a guide to teachers of basic school subjects- English, social studies, mathematics, science- who wish to teach learning skills along with subject matter. At the same time, it offers ways to modify suggested procedures. The book is deliberately designed to give teachers the experiences they are encouraged to give their students- to show them how to do what they are asked to do: * technical vocabularly is explained at beginnings of chapters. * Study guide materials accompanying chapters are like those to be used in content areas. * Ample illustrative lesson materials accompany explanations. Procedures have been tested in the classroom by experienced teachers, and specific guides to each of the basic subject areas- English, social studies, mathematics, and science- are given. A separate bibliography appears at the end of the book."
