Ann Baum (Johnston) on 17 Nov 10"These self-paced classroom activities are designed to enhance the literacy skills of struggling readers in grades 5-8. Each uses videos, interactive activities, note-taking, reading, and writing to present students with an engaging science or history topic. Each activity addresses a range of specific literacy strategies. All 15 activities promote monitoring comprehension, synthesizing, asking questions, developing vocabulary, connecting prior knowledge to new learning, and developing a topic in writing."
