I am teaching an undergrad course online and picked this up to see if there would be useful ideas for content teachers. It's going to be a little to apply, but yes, I think so. Most important is the idea of modeling. Specific examples and questions are provided. What I felt I could have used more of was 1. information on detecting reading problems in my students and 2. application examples over a wider range of disciplines and ages. ( ) This text discusses the problem many students face when it come to reading. It provides comprehensive strategies that teachers can use to help improve their students reading skills. This is an appropriate text for future and current teachers. Reading a very necessary skill for all subject areas and this book give a break down of all the things students may struggle with and provides ways to help those students improve their skills. Nice professional reading for teachers of all content areas. The work features great explanations, descriptions and application suggestions of reading strategies for adolescent students. These strategies are nothing radical new, but are excellently presented from a practicing teachers point of view. They are designed to engage the student and get them to think, appreciate and understand reading. Ready made templates that can be applied directly in the classroom are also included in the back. A great starter for the coming academic year. Tovani is a reading specialist who explains the problems many struggling readers have at the secondary level. She also sheds light on troubles more able readers can have when they tackle more difficult texts. She gives a number of examples from her own teaching and provides clear suggestions for helping students overcome their problems and become better readers. She makes it clear that becoming a better reader takes work, but we all know that it is worth the effort. no reviews | add a review
