Now in a revised and updated seventh edition reflecting a decade of developments in the field, this established text describes ways to help adolescents develop the literacy practices necessary for successful learning in the disciplines. It offers a research-based framework for fostering essential reading, writing, speaking, and thinking skills, with a focus on culturally responsive pedagogy that leverages adolescents' diverse abilities and backgrounds. Effective approaches to assessment and instruction across content areas--using traditional texts alongside a variety of popular and new media--are presented. Enhancing the text's utility are in-chapter guiding questions, case studies, teaching vignettes, and classroom dialogues.
