"Teachers will welcome Dr. Wilfongs Content-Area Literacy Strategies That Work: Do This, Not That. As building content-area literacy becomes increasingly important in US schools, Wilfongs book breaks down 10 major areas and provides teachers with tools and strategies to help students develop their literacy and writing skills. The structure of the book and Wilfongs engaging writing style allow for teachers to easily access strategies. One of the many strengths of Wilfongs book is that she recognizes common pitfalls when trying to encourage students in content-area readings and provides useful strategies to overcome potential issues. As a teacher educator, I especially appreciate specific content-area examples and the resources and templates that are given throughout each chapter. While geared for the middle school student, Wilfongs book is a welcome resource for upper elementary and high school teachers as well." Ashley G.
