Building Literacy Through Cross Cirriculum

Building Literacy Through Cross Cirriculum

Building literacy skills should be a schoolwide initiative. Teachers of other subject areas do not always have a literacy background and struggle to include literacy skills in their classrooms. As a teacher with a literacy background, you may be expected to help provide information to these teachers to assist them with incorporating literacy skills within their curriculum.  

Using the topic Resources and your own research, create an 8-12 slide digital presentation to provide early childhood teachers with meaningful and engaging interventions that can be used across multiple content areas to support young learners in practicing and mastering literacy skills. In your presentation include the following information:

• Discuss how atypical literacy development affects learning in other content areas and explain how providing literacy interventions can support success in all content areas.
• At least one literacy intervention that could be applied to math instruction, including a rationale explaining how the intervention will assist students to learn, practice, and master both literacy and math.
• At least one literacy intervention that could be applied to science or social studies instruction, including a rationale explaining how the intervention will assist students to learn, practice, and master both literacy and science or social studies.
• At least one literacy intervention that integrates technology, including a rationale explaining how the technology will assist students to learn, practice, and master literacy skills.
• Explanation of the importance of individualized intervention strategies rather than a “one size fits all” method.

Presenter’s notes are required for each content slide. Presentation must include a title slide at the beginning, and a reference slide with documentation of resources at the end. The title slide and reference slide do not count in the total number of slides.

Your presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

Support your assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources.
