I have used this book year in and year out. It is a one-stop shopping center for reading strategies in all content areas including math, English, science, history, and foreign languages. Other chapters include how to read textbooks, the Internet, tests, even a driver's ed manual. Most of the book is devoted to material an English teacher would find useful such as how to read fiction, non-fiction, and drama. Each chapter covers before, during, and after reading strategies and they also include a variety of easy to use graphic organizers. I use this with an "Intro to High School" class I teach that focuses on academic success. The organization and layout of the material is very user-friendly. I can plan a lesson on one of the chapters very easily. This book literally saved my life!
