Intended for use in undergraduate or postbaccalaureate teacher preparation programs, during staff development activities, and in introductory graduate teacher education courses, this book introduces K-12 teachers to the topic of helping students use reading and writing as tools for learning. This third edition retains features of earlier editions--narrative accounts of teaching, a focus on basic learning processes, a thorough examination of key concepts, integration of elementary and secondary instruction, integration of reading and writing, and pedagogical features.
