Literacy Across Content Areas Mini Series-How to Incorporate Literacy Into Science and Social Studies

In this episode:             I talk about the evidence based practices you need to be embedding into your Science and Social Studies content areas.  We talk about: 1.What students need in order to become proficient readers and how you are already tackling this in your Science and Social Studies block.  2. Why embedding evidence based literacy practices into your Science and Social Studies block just makes sense.  3.How to embed evidence based literacy practices into your Science and Social Studies block  Quotables: -Oftentimes in education we are working from a deficit model of what is missing, or what we are not doing, which never really motivates us. -These are the content areas where the focus shifts from learning to read to reading to learn. These are the content areas where students are exposed to content area vocabulary that they won’t necessarily learn at any other point in the day.  -Oftentimes students think/feel like they are the only ones that struggle in this area. You modeling what this looks like for you will not only help normalize it, it will also give them tools to use for when it happens to them.  Links to resources mentioned in the podcast: Book a discovery call for one on one coaching or school professional development Next Steps: If this episode resonated with you, take a screenshot of the episode and tag me on instagram @msevamireles.  This helps my show remain active in order to continue to help other upper elementary teachers get ideas they can use in their class today.
