WestEd's Reading Apprenticeship

"WestEd's Reading Apprenticeship helps teachers support students to become motivated, strategic, and critical readers, thinkers, and writers. Our research-based framework supports...students at all levels to develop positive literacy identities and engage with challenging academic texts. Teachers...implementing Reading Apprenticeship find that it can produce a dramatic, positive transformation of students’ engagement and achievement not only in literacy, but also in learning across all academic disciplines." http://readingapprenticeship.org/
