Here is an entire book filled with the kinds of strategies no teacher of reading can ever have enough of: time-tested, classroom-proven ideas that really work with elementary, middle, and high school students–including ESL and others students who come to class with limited vocabulary and few literacy skills. Each of the strategies has been used successfully by master teachers who participate in the San Joaquin Valley Writing Project; each is accompanied by authentic student artifacts or instructional figures; and each is bolstered by discussion of where it fits in the overall literacy curriculum and how students have responded to it.
