Embracing Opportunities in Integrated Reading Instruction Class Dismissed

    • How To

Integrating reading instruction throughout the school day presents several challenges for teachers:



Time Constraints: With tight schedules and a packed curriculum, finding extra time for reading instruction in non-language arts subjects can be difficult.



Curriculum Demands: Subjects like math, science, and social studies already have extensive curricula. Incorporating reading without sacrificing essential content can be a struggle.



Lack of Training: Not all teachers are trained in effective reading strategies, especially those specializing in other subjects. This can make it challenging to integrate reading into their teaching.



However, embedding reading instruction throughout the day can significantly enhance students' reading proficiency, engagement, and overall academic success. It creates a rich literacy environment where reading becomes an essential and enjoyable part of everyday learning.



Our guest on Episode 265 of Class Dismissed, Jen Serravallo, is an expert on this topic. Her new book, "Teaching Reading Across the Day," focuses on integrating reading instruction into various parts of the school day. Known for her practical and effective strategies, Serravallo provides educators with tools and techniques to embed reading skills and practices during designated reading times and across different subjects and activities.



Serravallo's latest book is designed to help teachers foster a love for reading in their students.
