How do you prepare students for the unfamiliar concepts, new terms, and unusual writing styles they will encounter during their study of subjects such as biology, history, or vocational arts? This book, an update to the bestselling second edition, offers you practical solutions to maximize adolescent students' learning in the content classroom. You'll find activities on asking and answering questions before reading, forecasting passages, understanding vocabulary, graphically representing information, and writing before reading. The book also provides updated research findings about prereading activities, and contains a new chapter that addresses the nuances of selecting, combining, and using prereading activities across lessons and units. The wealth of strategies and expanded reference list offered in this book will help you make printed materials in all content areas understandable and interesting to your students.
