Content+Area+Reading

//Welcome!// //Most content area teachers tell me they have enough to do without also teaching reading. But students need to read effectively in all areas, and they need different skills to read science material than they do to read a novel, or a social studies textbook, or a musical review. Writing an essay requires different skills and procedures than writing a DBQ. Every teacher needs to teach the literacy skills required by his or her discipline so their students will succeed. This wiki should provide support and ideas to help teachers accomplish just that,// //because we are all teachers of literacy.//
