ISBN 1-57129-040-0 • $19.95 SC
Today's classrooms are increasingly diverse -in English proficiency,
achivement levels, special educational needs, and social, economic, and
racial backrounds. For successful teaching and learning, the authors
recommend an eclectic combination of teaching approaches -for example,
integrating literacy skllls into content areas -and a wide variety of
techniques, from explicit instruction to discovery-oriented approaches.
Such integration allows greater flexibility for meeting the needs
of a broad range of students, while enhancing skill development and
content learning. This book provides how-to guidlines for implementing
these programs in elementary and middle school settings.
Karen R. Harris and Steve Graham are on the faculty of the University of
Maryland. Don Deshler is a professor at the University of Kansas.
