Filled with tested-strategies from practicing teachers, the book includes teaching scenarios that address numerous techniques and a variety of learners. This edition features expanded coverage of technology, more on professional learning communities, and current resources ideal for fostering literacy in the middle and upper grades. Book News Annotation:Brozo (U. of Tennessee) and Simpson (U. of Georgia) assert that
teachers of all subjects can create engaging learning environments in
which readers and learners use literacy for personal pleasure, as a
tool for academic achievement, and to expand critical consciousness.
They revise earlier editions between 1991 and 1999 with recent
research on reading, writing, and literacy. Other innovations include
expanded marginal glosses, revised anticipation guides, a web site,
segments on diverse learners, more vignettes, and updates on
technology and references.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:This book is based on the premise that literacy is, at its core, a social process; and that, as such, it is often affected--for good or ill--by social situations and cultural/social relationships. With that philosophical construct in mind, these authors provide a solid foundation of principles and a wealth of applications for developing literacy skills in middle school and secondary school learners. Coverage encompasses comprehension, vocabulary, writing skills, study strategies, and the use of computer technology. For elementary and high school teachers.
