Reading in the Content Standard
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Vacca & Vacca's book has long been a standard in graduate education classes for good reason. Now in its ninth edition, the book defines and expands on the idea of content literacy-- "the ability to use reading, writing, talking, listening, and viewing processes to learn subject matter across the curriculum" (xx). Educators will find the numerous best practices spread throughout the chapter, and the authors have addressed many of the issues of the modern classroom, including culturally/linguistically diverse learners, the use of trade books and electronic texts, and the influence of high-stakes and standardized testing. New and experienced educators alike will be interested in chapters 9 and 10, which deal with the writing exercises and reading strategies needed to improve student literacy. A useful and thought-provoking book for teachers of any content area.
Great Resource

Content Area Reading was a required text for one of my courses. I sold it back at the end of a semester and have been kicking myself ever since. I've needed it on numerous occasions. This is one to keep around and will prove useful for future reference!

Still the best reading methods book around
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book by Vacca is still the best of the content-area reading books on the market. Unlike many of the others out there, this one shows splendid visual representations and step-by-step approaches to a variety of reading strategies for secondary teachers. Save yourself time. Give this one a try.
