Synopsis

Every teacher can be a reading teacher with this user-friendly guide!

Chapman and King have done it again! This straightforward, easy-to-use handbook gives teachers creative yet substantial ideas and methods for infusing phonics, word analysis, vocabulary development, and comprehension strategies into subject-area instruction. As in the original Differentiated Instructional Strategies for Writing in the Content Areas, Differentiated Instructional Strategies for Reading in the Content Areas uses the same eclectic blend of differentiated instruction, multiple intelligences, scaffolding, constructivism, and co-op learning methods and activities.

Each chapter includes samples, suggestions, and lists that you can quickly apply to your own classroom:

• Creating a Climate for Reading―lure the unchallenged reader, excite the gifted reader, personalize the classroom, and evaluate the environment
• Knowing the Reader―assess each student′s reading ability
• Models of Reading―shared reading, four block, language experience, and more
• Vocabulary―strategies, visuals, context clues, and more
• The Art of Decoding―the Phonics Dozen, syllable sense, and more
• Comprehension―improve it before, during, and after reading
• Pulling It Together--giving your students the gift of a lifetime love of reading

This book will help you link reading in meaningful ways to the vocabularies of math, science, social studies, vocational studies, music, health and physical education, so all your students can improve learning and classroom achievement!
