Chapter 19: Reading Curriculum and Instruction. This chapter draws together the discussions of many instructional suggestions throughout the many earlier chapters. It first frames instructional recommendations in terms of 16 curricular guidelines to build a coherent yet flexible foundation for reading instruction. The chapter then considers four larger instructional frameworks that are implanted in various ways in both L1 and L2 settings: Discrete reading-skills building approaches, extensive reading approaches, commercial textbook series, and content and language development approaches (Content-Based Reading Instruction). The chapter reviews these four approaches and argues strongly for reading instruction that combines coherent content learning alongside reading skills development. The chapter describes in some detail one L2 content and reading approach (6-Ts). The chapter closes by reviewing the challenges and opportunities in using content-based reading instruction.
