This small book, in a flipchart format, provides 33 strategies for teachers to use to improve students' content area reading. Directions are succint and clear. The strategies listed are invaluable in helping the teacher create varied activities geared towards improving students' reading comprehension. I use this flipchart every week when preparing my lessons.

This is a flip book style book with literacy activities briefly explained and color coded/grouped into before/during/after activities. The back of this book has some blackline masters. This is a BARGAIN! Buy this if you want to mix up some reading activities in your content area classroom.

Janet Allen's Tools for Teaching Content Literacy is a fantastic tool for all teachers. It is a flipbook with various instructional strategies that can be used to help students access information effectively while increasing student engagement and understanding. Not only does it provide information about the strategy, but it also includes examples and organizes them into before, during, and after reading. Keep this handy when planning lessons! It is a tool teachers will come to rely on.

This is a great tool for any teacher..elementary or secondary! It provides useful methods for teaching content literacy in any discipline. I highly recommend it!

This flip-style book is convenient to use and contains a great variety of teaching tools to add to your lessons. These tools are effective in assisting the understanding of content, and increase engagement due to the variety of tools the book contains. The slight downside of this book is how focused it is on secondary teaching, although the strategies can be easily altered for primary and intermediate grades.

This is a nice cheep content literacy book. The ideas are really easy to find.

Nice teaching strategies. Mainly for the older grades, but some ideas can be watered down so the younger ones could handle them.

Good tips and games for readers workshops. I enjoyed it. My college professor introduced this to us.

I have always used Amazon to buy my school books, but man...a few years out of the game, and everything is just a little more complicated. I bought 4 books and all of them were the wrong editions. Man was I bummed, but I got what I ordered. Next time I will pay more attention.
