Description

In this age of the Common Core State Standards, all content area teachers must integrate literacy standards into their curriculum. If you’re like most content area educators, you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of applying the new standards, or you might just need a little extra help.

In this hands-on resource, Common Core literacy expert Katherine McKnight offers secondary teachers a clear understanding of what literacy looks like in English Language Arts (ELA), social studies, and other humanities-related subjects. She gives educators proven teaching techniques that will help them to develop literacy skills in their students. The book offers a wealth of practical strategies and activities that content area teachers can integrate seamlessly. Included are

• A selection of activities that support literacy skills and build content knowledge
• Ideas for implementing the literacy requirements of the Common Core in specific content areas
• An easy-to-use Difficulty Dial that indicates the complexity of each activity
• Robust student samples that bring the activities to life across a variety of grade levels
