Welcome to the world of Reading Quest, a content-area literacy
program built around the middle school science and social studies curricula.
This series of books provides access to content, and tools for accessing
that content. Students learn to read and write informational text through
content that reinforces and extends what they are studying in their basal
texts. The result? Content-area literacy!
How Reading Quest Develops Content-Area Literacy:
-
Builds fluency in reading and writing informational text
-
Models effective comprehension strategies
-
Utilizes standards-based science and social studies content
-
Better prepares students for state tests
-
Encourages team planning among teachers
