Summary

This book is focused on the exploration of content literacy -- the ability to use reading, writing, talking and listening processes to learn subject matter across the curriculum. The new organization of the Sixth Edition reflects a more integrative approach. More classroom examples are provided, as well as a new chapter on technology. An extensively revised chapter on classroom diversity includes instructional strategies for second-language learners and low-achieving learners.
