Reading Instruction At The Secondary Level, Justified Or Unjustified? : Real Strategies For Content Area Reading Instruction With Applications For Social Studies, Bridgette Pohlman Andersen

Research-based practices for comprehension that can be used before, during and after reading are presented. A professional development session, covering two years, is included that …
