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

According to the Common Core State Standards, which have been adopted by 46 states, students must develop literacy skills not just in English/Language Arts but across all content areas. This means that educators must teach literacy—reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language—in subjects like Math, Science, Social Studies, and Technology/Computer Science.  This book help teachers understand what literacy looks like in math, science, and technology classrooms and shows them how to develop these literacy skills in their students.
