Reviews book: "The 13th edition of Content Area Reading: Literacy and Learning across the Curriculum continues to reflect an ever-expanding knowledge base grounded in research and practice in the areas of content literacy, instructional scaffolding, differentiated instruction, student diversity, and new literacies. It continues to emphasize a contemporary, functional approach to content literacy instruction. In a functional approach, content area teachers learn how to integrate literacy-related strategies into instructional routines without sacrificing the teaching of content. Our intent is not to morph a content teacher into a reading specialist or writing instructor. Rather, our goal has always been, and shall continue to be, to improve the overall coverage of instructional strategies and practices that remain at the heart of this book.
