- Chapter 1-Ensuring All Students, Read, Write, and Think Welcome to Content Literacy for Middle Grades! This class will provide you with insights into working with middle level students to strengthen their literacy skills. Much emphasis has been placed on literacy in the elementary school and especially in grades K-3, but currently much focus has also been on the middle and secondary level.
Many students begin to lose interest in reading about this time. It is our responsibility as educators to see that does not happen! By providing students with engaging activities, texts of interest to them, and effective strategies we can encourage students to continue their literacy growth.
The three characteristics that motivate middle level students are time, interest, and choice. See how this relates to the week's readings.
