WEBINAR: Reading Instruction Across Content Disciplines

As young readers enter middle and high school, teachers will expect them to understand different kinds of texts: Primary source documents, scientific charts and graphs, poems and novels rich with symbolism. Experts in each of those disciplines—history, science, and literature—communicate their ideas differently. How can subject-area teachers help students understand those differences to become strong readers in all the content areas? Attend this forum to gain: An understanding of literacy in various content areas; Insights from researchers and practitioners who’ve implemented innovative strategies to teach reading in science and history; and an opportunity to talk with EdWeek journalists about our reading coverage, ask questions about reading policy and practice, and weigh in on the topics you’d like to learn more about.
