Originally published in 1989 (the second edition), Reading and Learning from Text tackles challenges in reading instruction by delivering research-based solutions for teaching students to read and learn effectively from text across all content areas. The authors identify key problems facing educators: evolving school environments, teacher attitudes toward reading instruction, and diverse student abilities in text comprehension.
The book presents three powerful solutions: foundational knowledge of reading theories and research, a proven instructional model for developing text-learning skills, and a complete blueprint for schoolwide implementation. It encompasses single-text and multiple-text strategies, content-specific applications for English, social studies, science, and mathematics, plus integrated approaches to discussion, writing, and listening skills.
The authors outline a systematic process that transforms students into independent learners, progressing from teacher-directed instruction to student internalization of strategies. Special emphasis is placed on developing schoolwide programs under administrative leadership, including in-service training components that ensure all teachers can effectively support text-based learning across disciplines. This volume serves as an essential resource for students and researchers of education.
