Although reading is an essential skill for learning in any discipline, many students in today's secondary classrooms find reading tasks difficult and often fail to complete those assignments. Now this proven, step-by-step instructional model shows secondary teachers how to help students boost their reading comprehension, acquire knowledge through their reading, and process the information that they've learned.
Providing numerous classroom examples, the authors show teachers how to use research-based, high-effect strategies before, during, and after reading to increase student learning in various content and subject areas. Teachers learn how to help students:
- Prepare for learning and anticipate reading assignments through pre-lesson strategies such as previewing the text, activating prior knowledge, and developing questions
- Remain focused and engaged during reading assignments through strategies such as reciprocal teaching, jigsaw, and think-alouds
- Process and internalize newly learned information using strategies such as graphic organizers and summaries
Easy to implement, this method helps secondary teachers improve students' content learning and reading ability at the same time!
FEATURES:
- Presents a user-friendly instructional planning model that can be used across the content areas
- Offers specific strategies to use during the three stages of instruction
- Includes numerous examples from content classrooms
- Can be easily implemented by the classroom teacher and is also useful for schoolwide adoption
