Content Area Reading is an evidence-based, functional approach to content literacy instruction. It shows pre- and in-service content area teachers how to use literacy-related instructional strategies to help students think and learn with all kinds of print and digital texts. The emphasis is on the comprehensive content, including an ever-expanding knowledge base in the areas of content literacy, instructional scaffolding, differentiated instruction, student diversity and new literacies. In a functional approach, you'll learn how to integrate literacy-related strategies into instructional routines without sacrificing the teaching of content.
