Reseña del editor:

"I haven't seen any books that come close to what Carol Olson has developed." -Harry Noden, Kent State University "The illustrations and scanned-in documents make Booth-Olson's book readable, interesting, relevant, and real-life. These visuals from actual students help transform her ideas from theory into practice." -Kathy Bussert-Webb, The University of Texas at Brownsville Now in its second edition, The Reading/Writing Connection features an array of individual reading and writing strategies, activities, and mini-lessons that teachers can implement in their classrooms. Well-respected author Carol Booth Olson extends far beyond most books intended for teachers of language arts by integrating reading and writing in creative, theory-based ways. Lauded by students and professors as a clear and straightforward book, this revised and updated edition includes plenty of material about teaching the writing process and responding to literature, and provides examples of lessons that help readers learn specific strategies. Unique in its field, The Reading/Writing Connection provides student models at middle and high school levels in almost every chapter, illustrating actual student responses to reading and writing activities. The book is also rich with literary selections, giving teachers easy access to the literature featured in the activities and demonstration lessons.
