Help! My College Students Can’t Read: Teaching Vital Reading Strategies in the Content Areas is designed as a resource guide for content area instructors who have no specific training in the field of literacy but want to help the struggling readers in their classrooms. This book provides simple, step-by-step ideas for introducing and embedding reading strategies within all content areas without sacrificing a lot of valuable class time. This easy-to-use resource will equip instructors to not only help their students be stronger readers in general, but to be stronger readers of content-area academic texts.
This unique guidebook needs to be in the hands of every college instructor. The author reminds us that ANY teacher who puts a book in front of a student is a reading teacher. This timely text is a tool kit of practical techniques to engage even the most reluctant reader. The author describes successful approaches to helping college-age students improve their literacy across all subject areas. Many college instructors have little or no training in teaching reading. This book proves that it is never too late for a great start in literacy!
