Leigh Van Horn, University of Houston - Downtown

Enable your students to understand themselves as readers. Empower them to challenge themselves and to respond to texts in ways which are authentic, individualized, and meaningful. Engage them with texts which are diverse, relevant, entertaining, and thought provoking. This valuable new book shows you how! Packed with clear information, strategies, ideas, and resources to help you improve middle level literacy in your classroom or school, the guide gives you: ideas on developing and sustaining a community of middle school learners; teaching strategies for assessment, vocabulary instruction, and reading fiction, nonfiction, and online texts; a look at how middle level students respond to texts and how to help them choose texts; suggestions for thinking about ways to develop and sustain your own professional community of educators interested in middle level literacy, and thought provoking interactive questions for readers and references for further reading.
