Reading for Understanding: How Reading Apprenticeship Improves Disciplinary Learning in Secondary and College Classrooms

July 3, 2012 Books

Ruth Schoenbach, Cynthia Greenleaf, Lynn Murphy

Subject-area teachers learn how to share their implicit expertise as readers in their particular disciplines and how to engage their students in the productive struggle of understanding complex subject area text.

Teacher professional development using the book’s Reading Apprenticeship framework resulted in student gains in content knowledge, reading comprehension, and learning behaviors and attitudes as measured by three large-scale, federally funded, randomized controlled studies—the “gold standard” of education research.
