In the afternoons Cris coaches her colleages in using reading strategies across the curriculum. Comprehending Content shows Cris at work in both roles: helping students apply strategies in diverse academic disciplines and helping colleagues as they test the use of strategy instruction in content areas. The tapes show a range of student reading abilities -- from struggling to accomplished -- and texts -- from novels to charts and math problems
