What a valuable resource for novice and veteran world language educators! The book is filled with ready-to-use reading strategies to enhance learning and understanding in the second language classroom. In addition, these strategies reinforce and expand reading skills in the first language. The result is a win-win situation for students and teachers!--Jan Hostler Stewart, D.Ed., 2014-15 President, Pennsylvania State Modern Language Association
"World Language and ESOL teachers of all levels will find this book to be a valuable resource. As many schools are implementing some form of blended learning, these strategies are ideal for teachers to use in individualized learning activities for better differentiation."
