Written for the busy practitioner by an experienced professional development consultant, writer, and speaker, Literacy for Real is a hands-on guide to meaningful reading across the content areas of English, math, science, and social studies in grades 6–12.

Chapters focus on engagement, vocabulary, comprehension, and critical reading, and each includes sample activities as well as a list of resources. Avoiding the one-size-fits-all model, this guide instead offers foundational practices based on what we know about learning.

Research-based strategies for content-area reading instruction, with a focus on student engagement. Online, multimedia texts for today’s 21st century classrooms.Interactive lessons that teachers can adapt to their own needs.
