Reading and writing across content areas is emphasized in the standards and on high-stakes tests at the state and national level. As educators seek to incorporate content-area literacy into their teaching, they confront a maze of theories, instructional strategies, and acronyms like REAP and RAFT. Teachers who do work their way through the myriad content reading and writing strategies are discovering not all activities are appropriate for content instruction: only those with a strong research base meet the high standards expected in classrooms today.
Janet Allen developed the ideal support for teachers who want to improve their reading instruction across the curriculum. Tools for Teaching Content Literacy is a compact tabbed flipchart designed as a ready reference for content reading and writing instruction.
Each of the thirty-three strategies includes:
a brief description and purpose for each strategy;
a research base that documents the origin and effectiveness of the strategy;
graphic organizers to support the lesson;
classroom vignettes from different grade levels and content areas to illustrate the strategy in use.
The perfect size to slip into a plan book, Tools highlights effective instructional strategies and innovative ideas to help you design lessons that meet your students' academic needs as well as content standards. The definitions, descriptions, and research sources also provide a quick reference when implementing state and national standards, designing assessments, writing grants, or evaluating resources for literacy instruction.

Helpful Tool:
This is a great tool for any teacher..elementary or secondary! It provides useful methods for teaching content literacy in any discipline. I highly recommend it!
Just the basics:
Nice teaching strategies. Mainly for the older grades, but some ideas can be watered down so the younger ones could handle them.
Exceptional Teaching Tool:
Janet Allen's Tools for Teaching Content Literacy is a fantastic tool for all teachers. It is a flipbook with various instructional strategies that can be used to help students access information effectively while increasing student engagement and understanding. Not only does it provide information about the strategy, but it also includes examples and organizes them into before, during, and after reading. Keep this handy when planning lessons! It is a tool teachers will come to rely on.
Just what I ordered but not the right edition.:
I have always used Amazon to buy my school books, but man...a few years out of the game, and everything is just a little more complicated. I bought 4 books and all of them were the wrong editions. Man was I bummed, but I got what I ordered. Next time I will pay more attention.
