Content Area Literacy Strategies That Work
«
"Not only is Lori Wilfong an engaging and inviting presenter; she is a master teacher and exemplar of her own craft. This book engages all content areas and truly shows practical ways reading and writing can be integrated to enhance and deepen any content. The strategies WORK! I have changed the entire way I teach ELA and SS based on Wilfong’s work, and not only are my students engaged and having fun—they are performing higher than ever before!" — Michelle Koussa, 6th grade middle school teacher, OH
"Teachers will welcome Dr. Wilfong’s Content-Area Literacy Strategies That Work: Do This, Not That. As building content-area literacy becomes increasingly important in US schools, Wilfong’s book breaks down 10 major areas and provides teachers with tools and strategies to help students develop their literacy and writing skills. The structure of the book and Wilfong’s engaging writing style allow for teachers to easily access strategies. One of the many strengths of Wilfong’s book is that she recognizes common pitfalls when trying to encourage students in content-area readings and provides useful strategies to overcome potential issues. As a teacher educator, I especially appreciate specific content-area examples and the resources and templates that are given throughout each chapter. While geared for the middle school student, Wilfong’s book is a welcome resource for upper elementary and high school teachers as well." — Ashley G. Lucas, Associate Professor at Towson University, MD
