Students must continue to grow and become more sophisticated readers if we expect them to master varied content information and concepts. The strategies in this book provide a framework to support content area teachers as they strive to engage students and increase content literacy as well as content mastery."</em>--Crystal Leu, Director of Curriculum (2/5/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Great book! Literacy for all, not just academics. The case studies and data are easy to understand, and the techniques can be quickly implemented in all classes. A definite read for all CTE teachers and directors.</em>--Jan Struebing, Retired Career Technical Education Director (2/9/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Perna and Mahurt understand the difficulties faced by secondary teachers today and emphasize commonsense literacy strategies to alleviate these difficulties. Using literacy instruction as a learning tool that helps teachers instruct students in their respective content areas has the potential for student growth across the curriculum. This book provides useful tools for secondary teachers in all content areas.</em>--Carol Arjona, Director of Secondary Education (2/12/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Recent research has shown that the overarching assumption that students can read and understand on a basic level can no longer be assured. This book provides clear, comprehensive, cogent, and concise processes that educators can use to enhance high school students′ capacity to read, understand, and use the information contained in written word. I recommend this text to high school instructors, their mentors, and administrators who interact with students for whom basic reading skills are still a challenge.</em>--Hal Hayden, Adjunct Faculty, Nova Southeastern University (2/9/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>There are two reasons why this is an important resource for high school teacher leaders: the underlying understanding that ALL students must master literacy at a high level, and the abundance of specific high school examples presented in a user-friendly format. Literacy and learning linked in ways that can be implemented immediately and easily!</em>--Billie Donegan, Director of Instructional Best Practice and School Change Coach (2/19/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br>
