This comprehensive, research-based new guide gives practicing and prospective content area teachers the knowledge and skills they need to develop their students' content literacy-and to ensure that those secondary school students are college- and career-ready. Through a balance of theory and practice, more than 30 sample lessons, and more than a dozen examples of exemplary teaching, the book emphasizes building language and background knowledge, which are the foundations of literacy, and offers specific suggestions for developing the academic language skills of all students, especially struggling learners and English language learners. Renowned author Tom Gunning includes many features that make this book an ideal resource for helping content area teachers teach their students the reading and writing skills they need to understand and communicate the content of their courses, including: - The Common Core State Standards and the IRA's Revised 2010 Standards for Reading Professionals. - More than 30 sample lessons and more than a dozen real-life examples of Exemplary Teaching. - Specific suggestions for working with struggling readers and writers. - Extensive suggestions for building academic language and adapting instruction to meet the needs of English language learners. - An emphasis on Assessing for Learning including discussions of a wide range of informal and formal formative and summative assessments. - Ideas for using technology, such as E-books, text-to-speech software, and Universal Design to help struggling learners. - Ways to use process writing, writing workshops, rubrics, and discipline specific writing. - The latest findings from cognitive psychology. - Excellent reinforcing pedagogy including: Anticipation Guides, Using What You Know, end of section check-ups, end of chapter Reflections and Application activities.
