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
  • 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
