Overview

Success in mathematics and science requires students to process and comprehend various forms of text; yet, many teachers feel ill-equipped to promote the development of literacy skills within the context of developing conceptual understanding of mathematics and science. Many content area literacy resources do not provide an adequate development of the complexities involved in dealing with mathematics and science texts. This work presents important background information on the reading and process and classroom tested strategies which include implementation information and ideas for modifying the strategy to diverse needs. These classroom examples support teachers and educational specialists as they design instructional experiences to facilitate both students conceptualization of important subject area content and the tools necessary for students to develop the literacy skills necessary to be successful in today s text rich educational learning environments.

Dr. David Pugalee is a leading authority in incorporating literacy strategies in teaching and learning mathematics and science. Pugalee's book fills a void by supporting teachers and graduate students with the why and how to reading in these non-traditional subject disciplines. His writing style is clear and concise, and the strategies can be easily implemented to impact on student learning and achievement.--Louis Lim, vice-principal, York Region District School Board, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada
