What is the Content Literacy Continuum (CLC) ?

The listening, speaking, reading and writing skills and strategies necessary to learn in each of the academic disciplines.

is the door to content acquisition.

.

CLC- A Continuum of ActionLevel 1: Ensure mastery of critical content.Level 2: Weave shared strategies across

classes.Level 3: Support mastery of shared strategies for targeted strategies.Level 4: Provide more intensive intervention

for those who need work on basic literacy elements.

Level 5: Deliver more intensive clinical options for those who need it.

Enhanced Content Instruction

Level 1

.

Level 1: Ensure mastery of critical content.

All students learn critical content required in the core curriculumregardless of literacy levels.

Teachers compensate for limited literacy levels by using explicit teaching routines, adaptations, and technology to promote content mastery.

all most some

For example: The Unit Organizer Routine

Embedded Strategy Instruction

Level 2

.

Level 2: Weave shared strategies across classes.

Teachers embed selected learning strategies in core curriculum courses through direct explanation, modeling, and required application in content assignments.

For example: Teachers teach the steps of a paraphrasing strategy (RAP), regularly model its use, and then embed paraphrasing activities in course activities through the year to create a culture of “reading to retell.”

Self-Questioning

• Attend to clues as you read

• Say some questions

• Keep predictions in mind

• Identify the answer

• Talk about the answers

Intensive Strategy Instruction

Level 3

.

Level 3: Support mastery of shared strategies for targeted strategies.

Students who have difficulty mastering the strategies presented in courses by content teachers are provided more instruction in the strategies through specialized, more intensive instruction delivered by support personnel.

For example: When core curriculum teachers notice students having difficulty learning and using strategies such as paraphrasing they work with support personnel to provide more intensive instruction.

Self-Questioning

• Attend to clues as you read

• Say some questions

• Keep predictions in mind

• Identify the answer

• Talk about the answers

What is Strategic Tutoring?

• Usually one-to-one instruction• With a highly skilled instructor• Who assesses, constructs, weaves,

assignments

Level 4Basic Skill and Strategy Instruction for Those Below a 4th Grade Level

Level 4: Provide more intensive intervention for those who need work on basic literacy elements.

Students learn literacy skills through specialized, direct, and intensive instruction in listening, speaking, reading, and writing through carefully designed and delivered courses.

For example: Courses in researched-based reading Programs such as the SRA Corrective Reading Program are created for students.

Therapeutic Intervention

Level 5

Level 5: Deliver a more intensive clinical option for those who need it.

Students with underlying language disorders learn the linguistic, related cognitive, metalinguistic, and metacognitive underpinnings they need to acquire content literacy skills and strategies.

For example: Speech-language pathologists engage students in curriculum-relevant therapy.

What Can the Content Literacy Continuum Do for High Schools?

Addresses, national state, and district priorities in literacy.

ContentContent::Rigorous academicstandards

Provides an organized approach to implementing IDEA while meeting the needs of other learners, consistent with No Child Left Behind provisions.

It’s a good idea!

Provides for different levels of intervention.

Focuses on change at the school level.

Is conceptualized as part of the school improvement process.

Dovetails with requirements most states have for school improvement plans.

Represents a structured, systematic effort to package research validated literacy practices.

SIM+

Allows flexibility in implementation–starting places may differ depending on where people are and what is going on at the school.

Reorients professional development efforts toward a content literacy team, not just individual teachers using validated practices.

Helps professionals differentiate complementary roles.
