Book excerpt: Secondary School Reading presents carefully thought out, practical strategies for promoting the development of reading skills at the post-elementary level. Practical applications are presented through their relationship to the theoretical conception of the total reading-learning process as they relate to the learner's needs. Reading instruction in the secondary school is essentially different than elementary instruction in the school. The older young people have different needs and interests and utilize different cognitive strategies. This volume presents strategies for older learners which reflects a thorough knowledge of both reading and teaching, as well as many years of experience in teaching this level. Secondary School Reading is a good blend of theoretical constructs and practical application. Its examples offer the teacher many ideas for learning activities. Its appendices direct the reader to many sources of information and teaching materials.
