This report provides the first-ever large-scale information about early literacy performance and progress of students in grades K–3 in Massachusetts.

The traditional emphasis on delivering content in community college classrooms through lectures may become less prevalent as teachers find better ways to help students engage in college-level learning.

While lecturing may still have a role, it has significant limitations, especially for students new to college and those at risk of faring poorly. Enter the Strategic Literacy Initiative at WestEd’s Reading Apprenticeship®, a research-based approach being adopted by a growing numbers of community college teachers.

These event proceedings describe two related Regional Educational Laboratory West events, highlight each speaker’s presentation points, capture themes that emerged from table discussions, and provide a list of additional resources.

School systems throughout the country are developing new courses and supports to prepare students to succeed in college. One example is the Expository Reading and Writing Curriculum.

In classrooms using the Reading Apprenticeship instructional framework, it’s cool — not shameful — to be confused. Problem solving is a shared exercise and everyone can learn in the clarification process.

This themed anthology for middle and high school students invites them to explore topics related to literacy and its relevance to their lives and their futures.

“Whenever we read books about teaching, we ask ourselves, ‘But what does that look like in the classroom?’ Building Academic Literacy: Lessons from Reading Apprenticeship Classrooms answers the question of what ‘Academic Literacy’ is, why it matters, and how teachers can develop these key intellectual habits in their students. This book, and its companion anthology, provide me the guidance and resources that I need.”
