Additional Information
“The authors share clear and valuable literacy strategies mathematics educators can implement easily within their existing instruction with an understanding of classroom context and the challenges of collaborative practice in schools. The thinking breaks throughout encourage reflection and collaboration for teams to use to consider the role literacy can play in mathematics classrooms.”
“This valuable book brings together three important concepts: literacy, mathematics, and collaboration among teachers. The authors present strategies to support all learners—those who need help accessing content, as well as proficient learners who are challenged with more complex ways to build critical thinking and capacity. It reinforces the importance of teachers modeling what to do while reading a text to help learners engage in the process on their own.”
