Inside
Struggling adolescent readers
Help your struggling middle school and high school students overcome the obstacles to being better readers and thinkers. Drawn primarily from IRA's Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, this collection of 40 articles acknowledges beliefs and situations that interfere with teens' learning, and presents ways to inspire them to be resilient and take charge of their learning. You'll discover important strategies for working with struggling adolescent readers: acknowledging cultural ties; supporting classroom reading, writing, and inquiry; varying texts to meet students' interests and needs; and connecting in-school and out-of-school reading. Watch your students thrive as you engage them through print, foster a spirit of inquiry in a supportive atmosphere, and create environments where students can explore many perspectives and interpretations of texts.
Prereading Activities for Content Area Reading and Learning (Third Edition)
How do you prepare students for the unfamiliar concepts, new terms, and unusual writing styles they will encounter during their study of subjects such as biology, history, or vocational arts? This book, an update to the bestselling second edition, offers you practical solutions to maximize adolescent students' learning in the content classroom. You'll find activities on asking and answering questions before reading, forecasting passages, understanding vocabulary, graphically representing information, and writing before reading. The book also provides updated research findings about prereading activities, and contains a new chapter that addresses the nuances of selecting, combining, and using prereading activities across lessons and units. The wealth of strategies and expanded reference list offered in this book will help you make printed materials in all content areas understandable and interesting to your students.
