Reading and Writing Strategies for the Secondary Mathematics Classroom in a PLC at Work®
Students need literacy support to think, read, and write in every subject, including math. Part of the Every Teacher Is a Literacy Teacher series; this book emphasizes the importance that the PLC at Work® process has in supporting learners who struggle with literacy. Grades 6–12 teachers will strengthen reading capabilities with practical reading and writing strategies specifically designed for mathematics instruction.
