Specifikacia Demystifying Academic Reading: A Disciplinary Literacy Approach to Reading Across Content Areas Fang Zhihui
Foundational and accessible, this book equips pre-service and practicing teachers with the knowledge, understanding, and tools they need to help students in grades 4 - 12 develop reading proficiency in the core academic subjects of literature, history, science, and mathematics. Applying a disciplinary literacy approach, Fang describes the verbal and visual resources, expert strategies, and disciplinary habits of mind that students must learn in order to read carefully, critically, and purposefully across genres and content areas. He also shows how teachers can promote language learning and reading/literacy development at the same time they engage students in content area learning.With informative synthesis and research-based recommendations in every chapter, this text prepares teachers to help students develop discipline-relevant and discipline-specific discursive insights,
