Maximize secondary literacy with evidence-based practices.
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:
- Implement multitiered systems of support to teach literacy actively across all disciplines in secondary education
- Encourage teachers and train them in effective literacy instruction through peer coaching
- Adopt new strategies to improve student reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary
- Reinforce students’ literacy training through reflective writing and class discussions
- Adapt practices as needed to address unique needs and support multilingual learners
