What Does It Take to Create Skilled Readers? Facilitating the Transfer and Application of Literacy Strategies
Fisher, Douglas; Fey, Nancy
Voices from the Middle, v15 n4 p16-22 May 2008

We explore these unintended consequences and provide examples of how middle school teachers can engage students in authentic reading comprehension instruction that results in transfer of skills.
