Reading Instruction Can
Reinforce Science and Social Studies

Many states and districts have high-stakes tests for science and social studies content. But the emphasis placed on language arts and math instruction sometimes means teachers devote less time to academic subjects.

Getting Reading Results: Content Integration helps elementary schools and teachers solve this problem by learning ways to integrate social studies and science content into the daily reading block.

After course completion, teachers will be able to:

Look for social studies and science content found in student reading passages
Correlate student reading passages with state science and social studies requirements
Plan ways to bring the social studies and science content "to life" through graphic organizers, technology and other reading instruction elements
Maximize academic content without compromising language arts instruction
Apply content integration techniques with struggling and at-risk students

They like most that they can work at their own pace. They like the group meetings—and those group meetings are essential. They can take them right back to their rooms and do them. They like the notebooks and binders, and being able to read about it online, have hard copies with them, and that they are separated by modules.
