Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In the pages of this practical, straightforward, affordable guide, teachers and teacher candidates get the tools they need to support their middle and secondary school students’ comprehension and success in literacy and in the content areas. Packed with classroom-proven strategies and procedures from the authors’ and their colleagues’ own experiences, it includes vignettes from actual classrooms showing effective teaching in action and how the instructional strategy works within content area teaching. Also included are research-based rationales for each strategy, providing in-depth looks at how to implement each strategy, along with examples of each strategy across the curriculum. With its focus on providing the right help for English language learners and struggling readers, coupled with media notes that provide ways for teachers to use different technologies to enhance teaching, this guide provides the right combination of strategies, advice, and ideas for improving literacy in all middle and secondary classrooms.

Featured in this new Third Edition . . .

· Practical help for developing literacy skills with English language learners.

· A focus on struggling readers in each chapter.

· New classroom examples added to each chapter from the authors’ own teaching and from teachers with whom they work.

“The work is, overall, fantastic, and I commend the authors for their ‘real world’ approach to writing and organizing this textbook. I enjoy all of their work! This book helps pre-service and in-service teachers feel comfortable integrating content area reading strategies in their particular content area.”

–Scott R. Popplewell, Ball State University

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Literacy Strategies
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2011

This book provided an easy to read, neatly organized list of strategies which could be used to improve any classroom. It systematically went through different areas that contain literacy, including work with vocab words, graphic organizers, note taking, etc., and explained multiple strategies which could be used. I thought it was great because for certain strategies the book offered a type of case study. It would examine a classroom where it was taking place. That really offered a way to see the strategy in use. It also provided many visuals to go with the descriptions. Overall, I would recommend this to any teacher interested in expanding their horizons and making literacy a major part of their classroom, no matter the subject.

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