Intended for both elementary and secondary school teachers, this book is a reference source for the most recent research in content area reading instruction. The seven sections of the book cover the academic disciplines of English, foreign language, mathematics, music, physical education, science, and social studies. Each section opens with a summary of research that shows the major concerns and features of reading within that content area, then discusses the skills emphasized in the area and specific teaching methods for use with each. An appendix lists texts in content area reading. (FL)
