Education scholars and educators from the US offer 20 chapters that detail best practices for teaching literacy skills to students in grades five through 12. They discuss culturally grounded texts, using existing linguistic strengths, motivation, rhetorical critique, and teaching students who struggle with academic literacies; reading and writing strategies using complex texts, vocabulary development, reading disciplinary content and strategic reading comprehension instruction, building on existing writing strategies, and strategies across multiple texts; ideas for subject-focused instruction for math, history, English, and other areas, as well as textbook comprehension; and program and policy issues like integrating multimodal texts in discipline-specific study, apprenticeships, and assessment. This edition has Common Core State Standards content throughout the book, and it adds chapters on disciplinary literacy, text complexity, differentiated instruction, academic language, writing instruction, history and English/language arts classrooms, and coaching.
