Literacy in a Social Science Classroom

Education has become covering topics in various classes.  For example, teaching English and grammar is taught in all classes, such as social studies.  In a Social Studies class a teacher will have have to determine what level a student is reading on and provide the student with content that fits their comprehension levels.  This goes for all classes including science and math as well.  A good way to find materials for a student is by using their Lexile scores and setting up text sets for a class.  When finding material for a lesson or unit utilizing Lexile scores is essential and good site for finding Lexile scores is readability-score.com.
