Paving the Way in Reading and Writing

The publisher says that this book offers teachers "a structured approach for motivating reluctant and disengaged students to tackle difficult reading and writing assignments. Drawing on relevant theory and research and the author's extensive experience, the book presents practical instructional strategies along with teacher-tested tools and activities to improve comprehension as well as strengthen written communications. Activities combining reading and writing tasks are emphasized along with graphic exercises for engaging more visually oriented students." It is unfortunate that the book's format makes the book seem less interesting than its style and content suggest it is.
