I agree with the suggestion below and start each year teaching how to
analyze a book for how it helps support learning. 

We use text mapping  http://www.textmapping.org/overview.html 

and leave the map of the first chapter up on the wall for awhile.      

 

For content area reading, it is important that students look at the text

features first, know what the purpose of the text features are, and

understand that they can get a good idea of what the chapater/article will
be

talking about just by looking at the text features. Also, it is a good way

for them to build their background knowledge before reading so they WILL

understand the content. I think that is the key starting place.
