Bring your own lunch and this month’s copy of ASCD’s Educational Leadership as we study and share professional insights and school/district resources relative to its theme: Reading to Learn - Good readers can use their reading skills to gain knowledge of any subject. This issue will explore how teachers can help students learn to extract information and construct meaning from what they read, no matter what the subject is. What new or expanded reading comprehension skills are necessary in the 21st century? What can educators do to enable all students to learn from any kind of text they encounter, whether it's poetry or prose, fiction or nonfiction, on paper or online? We welcome submissions on teaching English language learners to read as well as strategies for older students who read below grade level.
