Educators and professional development consultants Daniels and Zemelman describe how to engage middle and high school students with content-area reading in any subject. They note that students are typically reading the wrong material and that they don't understand what they read, and demonstrate how to make sure students have the required cognitive strategies to understand the information and that they are exposed to the best texts in a variety of genres to engage them. They discuss how the brain works during reading; the limitations of textbooks and how to use specific books, magazines, journals, and websites for different content areas, as well as how they can be integrated into the curriculum and with the Common Core State Standards; classroom structures and strategies to help students remember and understand what they read; using textbooks; creating a collaborative climate for reading and discussion; using reading workshops, book clubs, and inquiry units; working with students who struggle with English, learning, or reading; and the research supporting best practice instruction. This edition has new and revised lessons, updated research, and new vignettes. Annotation 2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
