Questions from the Classroom

Integrate literacy across the curriculum. As all middle grades educators know, the need to integrate literacy across the curriculum is a goal of every discipline and is consistently included in the standards for each professional area. Add to that the fact that the Common Core State Standards includes an all-encompassing focus on reading and writing, and it is very clear literacy is no longer left only to the language arts teachers. But how do you do it? Questions from the Classroom has the answers! This book is designed to not only provide educators with a research and theoretical base, but more importantly, practical strategies for integrating literacy across the curriculum. Each chapter includes step-by-step procedures and sample lessons that address all of the subject areas including mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts. Intended for middle grades teachers in all disciplines, Questions from the Classroom, is also a must-read for administrators, curriculum coordinators, assistant principals, literacy specialists, and any other individuals involved in instruction in the middle grades.
