product description

Description

Filling a crucial need, this book provides concrete ways to support all students in grades 6-12 as they engage with rigorous grade-level texts in English language arts, science, and social studies. The authors offer fresh insights into adolescent reading and what makes a given text "tough"--including knowledge demands, text structure and complexity, vocabulary, and more. Research-based, step-by-step strategies are presented for explicitly scaffolding these challenges in the context of purposeful learning activities that leverage students' individual strengths and interests. The book includes planning tips, text selection guidelines, sample text sets, and vivid case studies from culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. Fourteen reproducible forms and handouts can be photocopied or downloaded for use with students.

Sarah M. Lupo, PhD, is Associate Professor of Literacy Education in the College of Education at James Madison University. She has worked in education since the early 2000s, including as an ESL teacher, English teacher, reading specialist, and literacy coach in Washington, D.C., Arizona, Virginia, and even Istanbul, Turkey. Dr. Lupo has published over 20 articles and chapters in leading education journals. Her work strives to position all learners as capable and bringing cultural and linguistic assets to the reading experience, while putting theory into practice to find ways teachers can improve text learning in grades K-12.

Dr. Reynolds works in all areas of translational science in adolescent literacy--conducting primary empirical research studies, crafting policy recommendations, delivering professional development with districts and teachers, and teaching high school students. His particular research interests include scaffolding students' reading of complex texts and reading intervention for high school students.
