"Subjects Matter: Content Reading in the High School"

Harvey Daniels has been a city and suburban classroom teacher, and now serves as professor of reading, language, secondary education and interdisciplinary studies at National-Louis University in Chicago. In language arts, Smokey is best known for his work on student book clubs, as recounted in Literature Circles: Voice and Choice in Book Clubs and Reading Groups . Daniels is also co-author of Subjects Matter: Every Teacher's Guide to Content-Area Reading , which shows how students can better understand and remember what they read in science, math, and social studies, as well as English classes. Bringing together recent comprehension research with practical classroom strategies, Subjects Matter shows how schools can grow lifelong readers across the curriculum.
