A comprehensive resource for future and
in-service grade 6 - 12 teachers, Content Area Reading,
2/e provides a unique, Common Core-based, student-centered
approach using innovative features to help students make
connections between what they read and how they apply it in the
classroom; the book translates theory into practice through a wide
range of innovative instructional approaches. The teaching ideas
are initially taught using explicit instruction to scaffold student
learning, and student examples from a variety of disciplines are
featured throughout the text, along with a variety of readily
available teaching resources.

With a central theme of multiple literacies
and their effects on today’s teachers and classrooms, the
book emphasizes today’s need to be able to reading and write
and also to understand a variety of disciplines, navigate a myriad
of information sources, examine the author’s intent, and
comprehend beyond the printed pages.

The new
edition features an entirely new chapter on the Common Core, in
which both the College and Career Readiness Standards and the
Common Core State Standards are emphasized and “rich
instructional tasks” are introduced; a new “Making
Connections to the Common Core” feature that appears
throughout the text; updated theoretical information; revised
websites; and numerous new student examples integrated throughout.
In addition, the Appendixes have been revitalized to include a
variety of new graphic organizers that focus on using multi-modal
text and recognizing and creating text structures, plus new
examples of completed student projects.
