Wendy Windust on 17 Apr 11oncept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) is an instructional program that merges Reading strategy instruction, conceptual knowledge in science, and support for student motivation. We define Reading engagement as the interplay of motivation, conceptual knowledge, strategies, and social interaction during literacy activities. We believe engagement in Reading is crucial for the development of life-long literacy learners. The CORI program is designed to foster Reading engagement and comprehension through the teaching of Reading strategies, teaching of scientific concepts and inquiry skills, and its explicit support of the development of student intrinsic motivation to read.
