Incorporating the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, Moreillon presents
- Strategies for improving reading comprehension, complete with updated graphic organizers, sample lesson plans, and technology-centered examples
- Practical steps for streamlining the coteaching lesson-planning process, boiling it down to three levels of literacy development
