10 Basic Literacy Intermediate Literacy Disciplinary Literacy Pk-3 4-5 6-8 9-12 Adapted from Shanahan, 2012 Intermediate Literacy

11 Disciplinary Literacy is not using “generic reading and writing strategies to learn about science, math, history and literature.” McConachie and Petrosky, Content Matters, 2010

12 Disciplinary Literacy is the use of discipline-specific practices to access, apply, and communicate content knowledge.

13  Each discipline has specialized:  Ways of thinking  Language and vocabulary  Types of text to comprehend  Ways of communicating in writing

14 “All fields of study demand analysis of complex texts and strong oral and written communication skills using discipline-specific discourse. Because each discipline acquires, develops and shares knowledge in distinct ways, educators in each field must take ownership of building robust instruction around discipline-specific literacy skills to better prepare students for college and careers.”

25 A rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side of a mountain range that is protected from the prevailing winds. Prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular location on the Earth. The protected side of a mountain range is also called the lee side or the down-wind side.windsEarth Prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. As the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. On this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of rain or snow. The windward side of a mountain range is moist and lush because of this precipitation.condensesclouds formprecipitationrainsnow Once the air passes over the mountain range, it moves down the other side, warms, and dries out. This dry air produces a rain shadow. Land in a rain shadow is typically very dry and receives much less precipitation and cloud cover than land on the windward side of the mountain range.cloud Windows on the Universe Text Before Common Core When winds that carry moisture from the ocean travel over the mountains the air (cools down or warms up), and becomes _________.
