If we′re to ensure that adolescents with mild disabilities achieve the very same gains as their peers, we must first teach them how to learn.

Driven by research, this indispensible resource features:
- Evidence-based strategies for teaching vocabulary, reading, written language, math, and science, as well as study skills, textbook skills, and self-regulation
- Clear presentation that describes strategies in context
- Informal assessments for every content area or skill addressed
- Case studies that link assessment results, IEP goals, and learning strategies
- Application activities with questions and suggested responses
Whether you teach in an inclusive, resource, or self-contained setting, there′s no better guide for teaching your students learning strategies that will last a lifetime.
