Content Area Reading: Literacy and Learning Across the Curriculum (7th Edition)
by By Vacca, Jo Anne L. and Vacca, Richard T.
Category: Language Arts & Disciplines , Literacy

A textbook for student teachers first published over 20 years ago. It emphasizes the transaction that takes place between readers and texts rather than the transmission of knowledge from text to readers, and thus highlights the contributions students themselves make to their own learning. The new edition includes a separate chapter on the struggling reader. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
