Practical Guide for Content Area Teachers

I have successfully used several of the MAX Teaching strategies in my middle school science classes. The guide is easy to use. For each text book reading strategy there is a brief description of the strategy accompanied by detailed, step-by-step instructions for introducing it to the students. Helpful samples of graphic organizers, teacher created materials, and student responses are also included. When was the last time your students had a lively debate over the interpretation of dry, factual text? The Anticipation Guide strategy found in this book sparked such an argument in my classes last week. My student teacher found it easy to try this and other MAX teaching strategies. Guess what parting gift he will receive from me!

Great resource

MAX teaching is a wonderful resource packed full of easy to use hands on activities to engage all readers and writers. It's great tool for content area teachers who are interested in trying some different strategies for engaging students with text. There are a lot of cooperative and interactive strategies that draw in even the most reluctant of readers. This book is not to be missed!
