Resources

A respected teacher resource and widely adopted text, this book provides a complete overview of adolescent literacy instruction in the era of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

Leading educators describe effective practices for inspiring diverse learners in grades 5-12, building comprehension of multiple types of texts, integrating literacy and content-area instruction, and teaching English language learners and struggling readers.

Case examples, lesson-planning ideas, and end-of-chapter discussion questions and activities enhance the utility of the volume.

• Extensive CCSS content incorporated throughout
• Chapters on disciplinary literacy, text complexity, and differentiated instruction
• Chapters on academic language, writing instruction, history and English/language arts classrooms, and coaching
