Literacy in the Social Studies Classroom

Literacy is vital to the success of students. In the past, literacy was taught and used primarily in the English Language Arts classroom. The moment students left their Language Arts classes, the focus on literacy diminished. Today, research has shown that incorporating literacy into all content areas not only improves student success but also provides students with the tools they will need to become a successful citizen in the future. Bringing literacy into Science, Math, and Social Studies classrooms not only provides students with the opportunity to grow their academic vocabulary but also gives them a better understanding of the content in those specific areas.
