Abstract A comprehensive manual for pre- and in-service ESL, EFL, and EIL educators who work with multilingual students at the secondary and post-secondary levels, this text balances insights from reading theory and research with highly practical, field-tested strategies for teaching and assessing second-language reading that educators can readily adopt and adapt to suit their contexts and student populations. Teaching Readers of English is a complete "go-to" source for teaching reading and promoting classroom and professional literacies in an increasingly digital world.
