Content Literacy:
"Trite slogans like “writing across the curriculum” do little to make clear that content-area teachers should focus on helping their students acquire and learn content-area literacies or master content-area discourses. Rather, content area literacy should be addressed throughout the education of all children and youth. This is particularly crucial now, when content-area teachers must educate increasing numbers of students with linguistic differences, and thus teachers must face the dual task of teaching content and literacy." --Roni Jo Draper, BYU
