Regardless of grade level or subject area, students need opportunities to develop reading and writing stamina. They need to practice not only consuming information, but also analyzing, making sense of, and producing information. "

-Verletta White]]> 2017-08-17 13:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/schamemartinez/hn5bqwxeiv4x/wish/181434002 Literacy Defined schamemartinez https://padlet.com/schamemartinez/hn5bqwxeiv4x/wish/181471830 Literacy is the ability to read, write, listen, speak clearly and think critically using print and digital materials across all disciplines. Literacy involves a continuum of learning, enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society (UNESCO, 2004)

“Authentic literacy is integral to both what and how we teach. It is the “spine” that “holds everything together” in all subject areas…Literacy is still the unrivaled, but grossly under-implemented, key to learning both content and thinking skills.”

If we give her a one or two week notice, she can pull nonfiction/informational material from our library that will support our current study. LOVE that!

Literacy skills are applicable in all content areas as students are consumers of information. Skills for decoding messages and information can be used in all content areas.
