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.

Chad I think that we are entering a new era in school where subjects are becoming more and more integrated. I see that more teachers are using techniques from other classes to create a uniform school that easily integrates information and techniques. Reading is just the tip of the ice burg.
