Get All Adolescents Reading 09-10
|
Traditionally, by the time students reach Middle and High School, we assume that they know how to read, and formal reading instruction stops. In addition, most secondary language arts teachers do not have a background in the teaching of reading. But many of our adolescent students need to improve their literacy skills so they can have greater access to content area knowledge and become more literate adults. Teachers will learn how to access and use assessments and resources designed to help students improve their reading skills. Protocols and templates to support and improve student literacy and to track student progress as well as a toolkit for content area reading will be provided. Teachers will try some of the strategies themselves and then try them with their students. Motivational strategies as well as high interest books for adolescents will also be shared. Participants will have access to resources on the Mission Literacy website, a statewide initiative for the improvement of Adolescent Literacy.
