Content Area Literacy Guide
This guide is a resource to help high school teachers learn how to use literacy strategies as an essential means to help students master core content. Part I: Understanding Content Literacy makes the case for improving high school students’ literacy skills and provides concrete suggestions for supporting all students as they progress from the learning to read focus of elementary school to the reading to learn focus of high school core content classes. The guide also includes a framework for effective lesson planning and a template to assist with planning content-area lessons that incorporate before, during, and after reading.
Part II: Literacy Instructional Strategies is a how-to guide of almost two dozen literacy instructional strategies that support students’ literacy development and their understanding of content. Each strategy includes a description, its purpose, step-by-step directions for use, and suggestions for differentiated applications. Each description also contains a quadrant chart that illustrates how each instructional strategy might be implemented in an english, mathematics, science, or social studies classroom.
