Content Area Literacy introduces teachers to the reasons for and means of promoting basic and higher-order literacy
across the disciplines. The fifth edition has been updated to reflect new research, methods, data, and national
trends relative to the field. It includes new aids that offer guidelines for reading actively, highlighting important
material, and making personal marginal notes. Key standards are also integrated throughout the methods chapters
and an appendix of the Standards of 6-8 major Professional Associations has been added. Teachers will gain a strong
understanding of practical and user-friendly methods.
