I loved this article, it talks about a mutual skill sets developed in different subject areas and how those should be emphasized. She talks about reading history for example, it should be read individually and also aloud. Then there should be a discussion about it, and also and examination of the facts and possibly reread. This is how you as a reader can develop the knowledge needed to understand a topic that you may be reading. Instead of developing state standards in a history class for example, maybe the English class that they are in can show them how to read different genres and different structures of text. This school seems to be one that is very different from the normal school setting they we live in today
