Product Description

This practical, engaging text introduces prospective and practicing teachers to K-12 content reading instruction.

 

Unlike any other text in the market, the content progresses from general practices, cycles, and settings of instruction, to units of instruction and specific lesson planning. Well-respected authors Dave Moore, Pat Cunningham, Sharon Moore, Patricia M. Cunningham, and Jim Cunningham speak to educators new to the idea of content area literacy instruction and focus on instruction that is aligned with state standards and tests, yet promote literacy that goes beyond that which is tested.

 

The sixth edition of Developing Readers and Writers in the Content Areas places even more emphasis than in the past on (a) new digital literacies, (b) disciplinary literacies, and (c) English learners and special needs students. Chapters describe instruction appropriate for a comprehensive content-area literacy program (literature, comprehension, vocabulary, writing, study, inquiry, and differentiation), and include end-of-chapter applications that show how the practices apply to specific content areas such as science and mathematics. This text contains accessible language, concrete examples, and adjunct learning aids to help new learners access it.

Features

  • Addresses elementary, middle-school, and high-school teaching, making it appropriate for mixed grade levels.
  • Helps students apply content area literacy practices to all aspects of the curriculum with specific content area applications in English language arts, mathematics, science, second language, and social studies activities (Chs. 5-8).
  • Educators teach amidst an unprecedented system of accountability. Chapter 3, “Instructional Units,” details how to design instruction that recognizes district- and state-mandated accountability systems.
  • Treatment of diversity and multi-cultural classrooms is highlighted by chapter applications that include activities especially designed for students who are learning English (Chs. 5-8 & 10).
  • “Looking Ahead” and “Key Ideas” features open each chapter with a concise overview of that chapter's contents, followed by a list of major topics within that chapter.
  • “Listen, Look, and Learn” contains suggestions for checking out teaching tools with K-12 students and practicing teachers, giving learners an opportunity to develop ideas, while “Try It Out” sections encourage learners to apply those ideas (Chs. 1-10).
  • “Looking Back” sections summarize each chapter, highlighting important concepts, while “Add to Your Journal” pieces offer topics and questions to consider when responding to this book in journal form (Chs. 1-13).
  • NEW! Emphasis on new digital literacies enable course instructors to remain current during the accelerating shift from traditional print literacy to new digital literacies (Chapter 9 and in websites presented throughout the chapters).
  • NEW! Increased attention to English learners and students with special needs enables teachers to best serve increasing populations of students who struggle with conventional instruction. Chapter 10 is devoted entirely to Differentiation; instructional accommodations interspersed throughout the chapters on instruction.
