Schopf organizes a vast wealth of research that explores teaching methods supporting continued literacy development. Examining literacy learning across academic disciplines and in such cases as special education and language acquisition, Schopf and experienced literacy educators offer professional insights, recommendations, and tools for teachers to help struggling middle and high school students grow and succeed as flourishing readers.
