While the Reading Well by 3rd Grade~K12 Literacy Plan is on the horizon for school districts, I would like to address that we are all teachers of reading. While many of us have heard the saying and maybe believe the saying: "From K-3 children are learning to read. In grades 4-12 children are reading to learn." This is no longer the case. In a recent article published through ASCD, written by Minnesota's own Kari Ross and Bonnie Houck, Reading Specialists for MDE. The article addresses the fact that we all need to be explicitly teaching reading strategies. It should not matter the grade nor the contenct area. I would invite you to read the attached article.
