Supporting Readers Across the Curriculum is a case study showing how content area teachers can work effectively with struggling students to build their reading skills and enhance their ability to master subject area curriculum. The half-hour video shows teachers how to use research-tested strategies such as activating prior knowledge and setting a purpose for reading. In addition, it celebrates the results of a study that shows the effectiveness of these techniques when employed to guide middle school students in an online reading experience. The program also incorporates commentary from noted literacy experts.
