Literacy and Text Reading in Middle and High School Social Studies and English Language Arts Classrooms

Description

This study reports vocabulary and reading comprehension instructional practices implemented in middle and high school social studies and language arts classrooms. The proportion of time spent reading text was roughly the same across the two subjects, with differences by text type, reading mode, and grade level within both subject areas and reading practices.
