This revision of Tonjes and Zintz's classic Teaching Reading, Thinking, and Study Skills in Content Classrooms, this new edition bears a new integrated approach to literacy studies in middle and high-school classrooms. The text provides complete coverage of practical aspects with numerous strategies for teaching, real-life vignettes, and imbedded workshops. Easy readability, easily able to be seen applications to individual content areas, cognitive maps to start chapters, and extensive references assist students. The affective domain chapter looks at motivation, attitudes, and interests with discussion of at-risk and distracted students, and coverage of children with Attention Deficit Disorder and other behavioral learning problems. New material in the second edition includes: a new chapter 12 on technology, a new first chapter on practical tools readers can readily adopt, Gardner's Eight Ways of Knowing, and Attention Deficit Disorder and literacy. The comprehension chapters are now one chapter and completely revised. The former chapter on collateral reading has been omitted and now is integrated throughout
