Reading for Understanding: A Guide to Improving Reading in Middle and High School Classrooms




This practical guidebook provides concrete lessons for middle and high school teachers about how to support students' reading in the disciplines, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of the approach — Reading Apprenticeship®. The guide is based on work in which students in an urban ninth-grade class gained an average of two years on a standardized reading test in just seven months and learned to love to read in the process.
