Why is reading important in the content areas?
• If all teachers provide reading
opportunities; students will be better
prepared to meet id. standards.

understand and what they read.
In combined reading and writing instruction, students are more
engaged in a greater society of experiences that
lead to better reasoning and higher level thinking.
