This volume is an attempt to synthesize the understandings we have about reading to learn. Although learning at all ages is addressed, the main focus is on middle and high school classrooms - critical spaces of learning and thinking. One important goal of the book is to encourage practicing teachers to learn to consider their students in new ways - to see them as being influenced by, and as influencing, not just the classroom but the total fabric of the disciplines they are learning. Equally important, this volume is intended to foster further research efforts - from local studies of classrooms by teachers to large-scale studies that produce generalizable understandings about learning from text. Learning From Text Across Conceptual Domains - a result of the editor's and contributors' work with National Reading Research Center - will be of interest to all researchers, graduate students, practicing teachers, and teachers in training who are interested in understanding the issues that are central to improving students learning from text.
