Reviews

This is valuable text that will help craft middle and secondary students' understanding of science. Each science contributor partnered with a literacy expert to include pre-reading, during-reading, and post-reading strategies with young adult books to increase and deepen students' understanding of various scientific concepts. This work readdresses the need for the practical application of subject matter in an approachable, easily understood manner. -- Dana L. Zeidler, PhD, distinguished professor of science education at USF; past president, NARST; co-editor, Journal of Research in Science Teaching The authors demonstrate how to develop students' literacy skills within content instruction and also provide meaningful illustrations that support teachers in understanding the subsequent benefits regarding students' content knowledge. This book is a must read for all middle and secondary teachers! -- Angela T. Barlow, PhD, professor of mathematics education at MTSU; editor of NCSM Journal of Mathematics Education Leadership After reviewing this work, I thought to myself: `How I wish it had been available two semesters ago!' The chapters figuratively `read themselves' due to the authors' engaging writing style and their expertise in the field. -- Donna Alvermann, PhD, distinguished professor of language and literacy education; endowed faculty research position,UG; elected into the Reading Hall of Fame; AERA Fellow
