Literacy Across Content Areas Mini Series- Why Literacy Should Be Everyone's Problem

In this episode:             I talk about how literacy impacts everything that students have to learn and everything we teach, therefore the teaching of literacy is everyone’s problem and should be taught across content areas.  We talk about: 1.What it means to be literate.  2. Why literacy is everyone’s problem. 3.How a student becomes a proficient reader.  Quotables: -Being literate is the ability to read, write, speak and understand in a way that allows someone to function in their everyday life.  -Students are required to have a level of literacy that helps them function in their daily lives even while they are in school.  -Literacy instruction is everyone's problem, it should not all fall on the RLA teacher/block.
