In this age of the Common Core State Standards, all content area teachers must integrate literacy standards into their curriculum.

McKnight gives educators proven teaching techniques that help develop literacy skills in students. She also offers a wealth of practical strategies and ready-to-use activities that content area teachers can integrate seamlessly. Included are

Ideas for implementing the literacy requirements of the Common Core across content areas
A selection of activities that support literacy skills and build content knowledge in math, science, and technology classrooms
An easy-to-use Difficulty Dial that indicates the complexity of each activity
Robust student samples that bring the activities to life across a variety of grade levels and subjects

Common Core Literacy for Math, Science, and Technical Subjects is designed for practicality. With bonus web downloads, a literacy resource guide, and countless ideas for deepening content knowledge, this book provides excellent support for rigorous Common Core implementation.

Praise for Common Core Literacy for Math, Science, and Technical Subjects

"A realist with an incisive wit, Katie's robust pedagogy and trenchant analysis inspire all of us to incorporate the CCSS meaningfully in specific content areas. For her gifted writing, let alone her substantive and easy-to-implement ideas, this is a godsend for content area teachers. Move it to the top of the priority reading stack."
--Rick Wormeli, veteran educator, author, and teacher trainer
