Excellent practical guidance for any teacher of adolescents
With over two-thirds of today's secondary students not reading at proficient levels, improving adolescent literacy is an urgent priority for all teachers, not just teachers in the language arts. Written by nationally recognized experts, this book offers a proven method for developing high levels of literacy in secondary students, especially underperformers. It provides detailed guidance on how to build college track reading, writing, and discussion practices routinely into content lessons.
