Synopses & Reviews
This book proposes how to involve low readers more effectively in textbook learning. It presents instructional techniques to improve students' willingness to work with mainstream textbooks -- particularly those students with low reading skills. These techniques optimize learning of new content by focusing on three phases: Teachers prepare the student for new learning (Before Reading), help them (During Reading), and then help them integrate the new learning into what they already know (After Reading). The net effect of providing these active "handles" for learning from text is to maintain the confidence and motivation of the low-reading student.
