All Teachers are Reading Teachers

Description

Students need to develop reading skills not just in elementary school or English class, but throughout their school years as they meet new types of reading materials and encounter new tasks for which reading is necessary. This course is designed to provide content area teachers – such as math, science, social studies, PE, art, and music – with ideas for how they can contribute to students’ growth as readers. A wide variety of classroom-tested techniques are explained and course participants are encouraged to reflect on how these techniques might work in their own contexts. Background topics include discussion of the pros and cons of textbooks, why all teachers should be reading teachers, and key concepts for understanding the reading process. All assignments are submitted electronically and as they are performed.
