Why do boys embrace literate behaviors outside of school but reject them inside school? How can adolescents connect their outside-of-school literacy to school purposes? How can we use the present instructional moment to encourage students to continue growing as readers and writers in the future? Michael Smith and Jeffrey Wilhelm have answers, and in Going with the Flow, they share new and powerful ways to build strong literacy habits in adolescent boys-and girls. Drawing on the research that won "Reading Don't Fix No Chevys" the NCTE David H.

Going with the Flow fully illustrates their approach to designing and sequencing instruction, taking you from developing activities that prepare students for success before they are even given assignments to fostering meaningful classroom discussions.
