"Kane expertly balances theory and practice in this guide to literacy across the content areasSpeaking directly to a novice audience, this interactive journey prepares active readers with a robust teacher's toolbox of literacy strategies ready for the first year in the classroom."

"Every semester my students tell me how much they enjoy reading our course textbook. They find it engaging and practical because Kane supports their learning with classroom-tested literacy strategies and useful suggestions they can easily and effectively apply. The thoughtful, reflective nature of the text asks students to consider the hows of teaching and to question the whys, all with the intent to make their own classroom instruction better and to understand the importance of how literacy is the cornerstone for all content areas."
