Tackling Tough Texts: A Research-Based Guide to Scaffolding Learning in Grades 6-12

This book is for Grade 6-12 teachers, of any subject that requires students to read. It’s reader-friendly and packed with ways to scaffold texts in English and content-area classes.

Using grade-level texts is so important and the authors have organized text challenges into five categories (Textual Density, Knowledge Demands, Text Structure Demands, Vocabulary & Language and Word Reading), with a chapter on how to support your students with each one. The book offers details, examples, blackline masters and much more.
