What is Content Area Literacy?
Content area literacy is the ability to use reading and writing strategies to build adolescents’ understanding in subject areas.

How can we make a difference in students’ literacy?
Some of our students are actively engaged in literacy activities and others can’t begin them. Teachers who create a culture that gives students voice through discussion and group learning activities can alleviate feelings of anger, anxiety, alienation, and powerlessness.
