Teaching reading skills facilitates substantive interactions in all content areas, not just English. Reading is too important a skill to leave for one subject’s curriculum. By the time students are in middle school, their formal reading training is only half completed. We can teach students in all classes how to unlock meaning, organize thinking, set purpose, monitor comprehension, use existing knowledge to make sense of new knowledge, draw inferences, and determine what is important. In addition, writing and vocabulary development are highly effective methods for learning any topic. The best way to learn something is to teach it, and writing is teaching the reader what we know. Participants examine specific ways in which content area teachers can use writing, vocabulary development, and reading comprehension skills to teach their subjects. Provocative yet practical, this session opens minds to the power of literacy in any subject.

Rick Wormeli has presented in 49 states, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia, the Middle East, and at the White House. He is a recipient of Disney’s American Teacher Awards 1996 Outstanding English Teacher of the Nation. He has also been a consultant for National Public Radio, USA Today, Court TV, and the Smithsonian Institution’s Natural Partners Program.
