Best Practices in Adolescent Literacy Instruction
Edited by: Kathleen A. Hinchman, Heather K. Sheridan-Thomas
From day-to-day learning activities to schoolwide goals, this engaging book reviews key topics in literacy instruction, grades 5-12, and provides research-based recommendations for practice.
Leading scholars present culturally responsive strategies for motivating adolescents, including English learners and struggling readers. Vivid case studies, thoughtful discussion questions and activities, and detailed ideas for program and lesson planning make this an indispensable classroom resource and professional development tool.
WestEd's Cynthia Greenleaf and Cindy Litman author a key chapter, "Traveling Together Over Difficult Ground: Negotiating Success with a Profoundly Inexperienced Reader in an Introduction to Chemistry Class." This profile of one teacher-student instructional relationship takes an important look at "how teachers might translate their commitment to equity into classroom practices that help all students achieve high levels of academic literacy."
