Dalla quarta di copertina

Reading materials used during the study of subjects such as biology, history, or vocational arts often contain unfamiliar concepts, strange terms, and unusual writing styles. Research has informed educators about the value of preparing students for reading in the content areas, but how do teachers begin the complicated task of planning effective prereading activities that maximize their students' learning?

Prereading Activitites for Content Area Reading and Learning, Third Edition, provides practical activities that promote the learning of adolescents in their daily work in the content classrooms. This edition differs from the second edition in two significant ways. First, the authors have updated material to reflect the most recent information that has been revealed about prereading activities. Second, the book concludes with a new chapter that addresses the nuances of selecting, combining, and using prereading activities across lessons and units. Other chapters offer valuable strategies for asking and answering questions before reading, forecasting passages, understanding vocabulary, graphically representing information, and writing before reading.

The wealth of strategies and the expanded reference list offered in this book will help teachers make printed materials in all content areas understandable and interesting to students.
