Product Description
This text is the first of its kind to focus specifically on content area literacy instruction for the elementary grades using reading, writing, and discussion as tools for learning content in science, social studies, and mathematics as students are learning to read and write. A welcome addition to the content area reading market, this much-needed text helps teachers find ways to show elementary school children the classroom value of what they learn outside of school. Using a social constructionist framework, this prestigious author team includes strategies that the National Reading Panel deemed useful in promoting comprehension, becoming the first and only text that calls attention to evidence-based research and its implications for instruction. Innovative in its 3 R’s framework-Remembering, Reflecting, Reconsidering-it will help readers make connections and improve comprehension.
