by Deshler, Don; Ehren, Barbara
Date: 2008
Conference presented: 30th Annual SIM Conference
Abstract:
The field of adolescent literacy has changed remarkably over the past 10 years. The focus now is on discipline-specific literacy requirements. We speak of the literacy of science, math, history, literature, and more, in addition to generic reading comprehension approaches. In this session, professional developers will explore the different pearls of domain knowledge, language processing, and strategic approaches as they relate to specific academic areas. They will experience first hand the literacy requirements of a difficult academic text.
