What is Content Literacy?
Generally defined as “the ability to use reading and writing for the acquisition of new content in a given discipline” (McKenna & Robinson, 1990, p. 184)

More on Schema
The batsmen were merciless against the bowlers. The bowlers placed their men in slips and covers. But to no avail. The batsmen hit one in four after another along with an occasional six. Not once did a ball look like it would hit their stumps or be caught.

Hints for Struggling Readers
Provide readers who struggle to decode with opportunities to hear the text read aloud (tape assist)
Give readers for whom word recognition is a problem supplemental materials that include visual clues to word meaning (or use manipulatives in math)
Allot additional time for readers who struggle to complete assignments
Encourage struggling readers to use the internet because often the symbols and icons that are quite bothersome to good readers provide a means for struggling readers to construct meaning

Six Ways to Use Textbooks More Effectively
1. Empathy- Do you remember when you had difficulty in a subject and the text was difficult?
2. Help the students to get started. We need to “front-load” our teaching.
3. Don’t leave kids alone with their textbooks.
4. Choose wisely. Be selective with assignments. Be strategic about what is most important.
5. Supplement richly.
