Literacy
- Direct vocabulary instruction
- Classroom discussion of vocabulary words
- Sustained Silent Reading
- Require reading directly related to content
- Provide reading materials in the classroom
- Teach strategies to determine word meaning through context
- Promote a culture of reading in our building
Literacy across all contents is part of a basic foundation for a great education. Encourage your students to check out a book to take home and read over Christmas break, or better yet, schedule a time to take your students to the library before we are out.
