We take you inside classrooms to give you a close-up look at the problems that students
have reading their content area textbooks – and an explanation of how the SSSMART
program can help educators address these problems. Dr. Roger Farr, former IRA
president and author of the SSSMART program, explores the reasons that many students
perform poorly in the content areas of science, social studies, and mathematics and how SSSMART can help. Additional interviews with students, teachers, and other academic professionals highlight how the SSSMART program can help educators provide the
knowledge, skills and strategies students need to read in the content areas.
