Secondary School Literacy Instruction : The Content Areas

By Barbara D. Stoodt and Betty D. Roe

Book Overview

Secondary School Literacy Instruction helps all content-area teachers required to take this course with its motivational self-test pedagogy and unique application of literacy and study skills in all secondary subject areas. The text prepares secondary school educators to teach the content of their subject areas more meaningfully, based on the belief that teachers who understand reading strategies can enhance their students success in the classroom. The Seventh Edition increases the emphasis on what secondary teachers need to know to improve literacy skills in their subject area while de-emphasizing reading content more suited to specialists.

Excellent textbook on Literacy Across the Curriculum

This is a great textbook as it gives many practical suggestions on increasing literacy skills of students in all content areas. With so many of our youth today reading below grade level, this text provides a coherent, immediately applicable way to give students access to and an understanding of reading materials regardless of whether they learn best through physical activity, experiences in nature, music performance, quantitative analysis, or any other learning style.

I am using this text for a graduate level class I am teaching about reading in the content area. It seems to be a very large overview of all of the issues facing secondary content area teachers.
