Common Core Literacy for Math, Science, and Technical Subjects – Strategies to Deepen Content Knowledge (Grades 6–12)

Resources and guidance for the journey of Common Core implementation

In this age of the Common Core State Standards, all content area teachers must integrate literacy standards into their curriculum. If you're like most content area educators, you're feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of addressing all the new standards, or you might just need a little extra help.

In this hands-on resource, Common Core literacy expert Katherine McKnight offers secondary teachers a clear understanding of what literacy looks like in math, science, and technical subjects. McKnight gives educators proven teaching techniques that help develop literacy skills in students. She also offers a wealth of practical strategies and ready-to-use activities that content area teachers can integrate seamlessly. Included are

• Ideas for implementing the literacy requirements of the Common Core across content areas
• A selection of activities that support literacy skills and build content knowledge in math, science, and technology classrooms
• An easy-to-use Difficulty Dial that indicates the complexity of each activity
• Robust student samples that bring the activities to life across a variety of grade levels and subjects

Common Core Literacy for Math, Science, and Technical Subjects is designed for practicality. With bonus web downloads, a literacy resource guide, and countless ideas for deepening content knowledge, this book provides excellent support for rigorous Common Core implementation.
