English ScienceMath

What is Literacy?  Meet in same discipline groups and discuss the following: What do our students use literacy for? What might this class offer us? What do we offer our classmates?  How are we different?  How are we the same?

Literacy Video  Watch the video on literacy.

For Next Time:  Read “Effective Literacy Instruction for Adolescence” According to the report authors, what are the characteristics of effective literacy instruction? Of the strategies mentioned in the article, which do you know already? Which would you like to know more about? Who are struggling readers? What are we to do with them?

Why is There a Need for Content Area Teachers to Incorporate Reading Strategies into Their Instruction?  A change in instructional emphasis from learning to read to reading to learn  A change in the nature of instructional texts as students advance through the grades  A recent change in curricular emphasis that corresponds to our growing use of technology.

Why is There a Need for Content Area Teachers to Incorporate Reading Strategies into Their Instruction?  Literacy in grades K-3 - Oral language and story reading / high success / learning to read activities  Grade 4 – dramatic shift / reading to learn with expository texts  High school reading ability – minimal level of proficiency for success in our technological age.

Why is There a Need for Content Area Teachers to Incorporate Reading Strategies into Their Instruction?  Technological age – challenging reading demands  Complex texts – History and Science (getting better) Should be challenging, well written, and organized  Teachers must: be well versed in strategies to enhance student’s comprehension of challenging texts. be able to analyze and evaluate chosen texts.

Why is There a Need for Content Area Teachers to Incorporate Reading Strategies into Their Instruction?  Textbooks: May not express importance of facts. Rarely states why student needs to know information. Students learn not to read text because teachers give all necessary info. Compartmentalize = “read and memorize”

Why is There a Need for Content Area Teachers to Incorporate Reading Strategies into Their Instruction?  Our society demands a shift from reading and answer questions to being able to apply knowledge.  Teachers must: Model higher order thinking Place students in collaborative problem- solving groups Provide assignments that require analysis and creativity

Does Content Area Reading Assist the Development of a Literate Society?  Some studies suggest content area reading strategies have an impact on reading achievement and literacy in general.  Students learn how to apply the knowledge and are able to use the information across curriculum.  Students learn how to apply strategies to new material.

Resistance to Content Area Reading Instruction  Look at the format of the article.  How is the broken up?  Skim the article reading the headings.  Read the article section you have been assigned.  Be ready to report important points to group.
