If you find yourself growing increasingly frustrated with your students' unwillingness - or inability - to read or their penchant for skimming the surface of the text with no evidence of comprehension or retention, then this book is for you. Audrey Fielding and her colleagues have collected case studies and scenarios from five middle and high school teachers who offer effective, classroom-based ideas for helping all of their students become more active, engaged, and purposeful readers. All examples in this book illustrate approaches explained in Reading for Understanding (right).
