Cognitive Strategy Instruction For Middle And High Schools 

by Eileen Wood, Vera E. Woloshyn & Teena Willoughby 

This book is especially important because there has been little attention shown in addressing the needs of secondary school students, especially when their skill base is weak. It presents the strategies empirically validated as appropriate for middle and high school students.

Each chapter presents the concepts underlying the use of strategies in specific subject or skill areas across the curriculum. Topics include: mnemonics, learning from directteaching, reading comp., writing, problem solving, algebra, science, computers, second lang., test taking and learning disabilities
