Who teaches READING?

Content area literacy instruction must be viewed as the cornerstone of any

comprehensive movement to build the kinds of thriving, intellectually vibrant

secondary schools young people deserve and on which the nation’s social

and economic health will depend.

Elementary School Teachers

Traditionally, reading has been considered the realm of elementary

teachers. For the most part, learning to read is taught only in grades K-3.

Teachers in grades four and beyond teach subject matter.

CTE teachers can. . .

1. Allow student choice

2. Connect reading and writing

3. Read aloud

4. Recognize alternative literacy approaches

5. Alternate material for remediation

6. Literacy-rich classrooms

7. Higher expectations

“About one student in five produces completely unsatisfactory prose, about

50 percent meet ‘basic’ requirements, and

only one in five can be called ‘proficient’.”

HSTWWhat does it mean?

Writing Well Saves Money for Taxpayers• Most employers consider writing a

“threshold skill” in hiring.• States spend more than $220 million

on writing training annually.• American firms spend $3.1 billion

annually to correct employee writing deficiencies.

Teacher Comments

I filled in the blank with the journal topic.

I have a topic sentence.

I wrote at least three supporting sentences.

I ended with a concluding thought.

My handwriting is legible.

I read my journal to find and correct errors.

Text Complexity

• Vocabulary—the number of domain-specific words and new general academic terms students encounter—unknown words

• Sentence structure—how the ideas in a sentence fit together—complex sentences, passive voice

• Coherence—how words, ideas and sentences connect to provide meaning—subtle transitions

• Organization—time sequence, cause and effect, problem and solution, categories

• Background Knowledge—developmental, experiential, cognitive factor—density of info.

• Write arguments (to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts) focused on discipline-specific content.

• Write informative/explanatory texts (to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content) including the narration of historical events, scientific procedures/experiments, or technical processes.

• Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

• Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing. . .

• Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts. . . paraphrasing them in simpler but still accurate terms.

• Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects . . .

3Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.

8Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence.

9Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take.
