Reading Comprehension, Second Edition

Written for teachers of students from kindergarten through ninth grade, this book lays out concrete instructional methods for helping pupils weigh the reliability of printed and digital materials, grow their word knowledge, sharpen study and exam skills, and cultivate a lasting enthusiasm for reading.

This revised edition draws on recent research into informational literacy and into how students build academic and subject-specific vocabulary. It also examines how recent federal policy initiatives have shaped classroom instruction.
