| Abstract: | Coauthor and editor Jeanne A. Schopf brings together leading literacy experts to address one of secondary education's most significant gaps: teaching adolescents to read. Grounded in literacy research and implementation science, this book guides middle and high school educators through systems, leadership, MTSS, and evidence-based instructional practices that transform literacy development for struggling readers, including multilingual learners, across all content areas. Grades 6-12 teachers, leaders, and instructional coaches can use this book to: (1) implement multitiered systems of support to teach literacy actively across all disciplines in secondary education; (2) encourage teachers and train them in effective literacy instruction through peer coaching; (3) adopt new strategies to improve student reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary; (4) reinforce students' literacy training through reflective writing and class discussions; and (5) adapt practices as needed to address unique needs and support multilingual learners. |
