Publisher's Synopsis
This text features an array of individual reading/writing strategies, activities and mini-lessons, and it scaffolds these strategies in extended demonstration lessons that teachers can implement in their classrooms.
Olson's new text extends far beyond most texts intended for teachers of language arts. It includes plenty of material about teaching the writing process and responding to literature, and provides examples of lessons that help students learn specific strategies. The text integrates reading and writing in creative, theoretically sound ways.
