Apprenticing Adolescents to Reading in Subject-Area Classrooms
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 85, No. 2 (October 2003): 133-138.

Reading Apprenticeship (RA) is explained as an instructional framework embedded in the process of teaching subject-area content at the middle and high school level. RA teachers address four interacting dimensions of classroom life that support reading development. The social, personal, cognitive, and knowledge-building dimensions are woven into subject-area teaching through metacognitive conversations, investigations into the students' and teacher's thinking processes as they read. Classroom examples illustrate instruction that taps each of the dimensions. The article concludes with ways in which RA teachers are changing their classroom practice, shifting their attitudes about students, and increasing their expectations.
