Reading Strategies for Career Academies
and
Career-Technical Education
Reading Strategies for Career Academies
and Career-Technical Education provides a broad selection of the best
research-based and classroom-tested comprehension strategies, applicable and
adaptable for all students in all courses. Most
teachers are not trained as reading teachers. Yet, many secondary students cannot understand
the materials they must read in order to learn in their classrooms. Teachers can help students overcome this primary obstacle in their education by:- showing them how to approach a textbook so they understand and remember it better
- helping them grasp the full meaning of their researched materials
- teaching them strategies that successful readers use to comprehend the text.
Few high school students have the opportunity to sign up for a reading course. The unspoken assumption is that these students are proficient secondary-level readers, but it is evident in most schools that this is not the case.
Who, then, must become accountable for teaching reading to secondary students? The answer is a resounding all teachers in all courses.
Think of it as teaching students strategies to improve comprehension in context. Because the practices and strategies in this kit are effective vehicles for delivering content instruction, teachers can improve reading skills and teach content at the same time.
Reading Strategies for Career Academies and Career-Technical Education is a tremendous resource for restructuring classrooms for success. The strategies will enable students to increase their understanding so they can succeed in academic, adult, and workplace roles.
Also included:- a CD-ROM with student activities, graphic organizers, worksheets, and teaching masters
- the result of a study entitled "Lexile Analysis of Occupational Reading Materials."
