This course is designed to acquaint students with the literacy skills essential to secondary students and to learning content area subjects. There is an emphasis on literacy across the curriculum as well as creating lessons and units that guide students to learn processes and content. This course prepares students to teach secondary students how to read and study subject matter textbooks, expository material, trade books, newspapers and other related items. Competency tests that many states have adopted as requirements for high school graduation have focused national attention on the abilities to read, write and learn from text.
