Breaking Reading Barriers in Grades Four to Twelve

After a general introduction about reading instruction in the middle school/high school grades, this book is organized into two main headings, ten vocabulary strategies and ten comprehension strategies. Each strategy has student work displayed, materials needed, purpose, activities for the prereading, during reading, and postreading phases of instruction, hints on how to individualize instruction, and assessment. The appendix includes a brain dominance survey, forms to reproduce, and types of analogies to teach in the classroom.
