Teaching from well-written, grade-level instructional
materials enhances students' content area knowledge
and also strengthens their ability to comprehend
longer, complex reading passages on any topic for any
reason. Using the following instructional practices also
helps student learning:
1. Reading assignments from longer text passages as
well as shorter ones when text is extremely complex.
2. Making close reading and rereading of texts central
to lessons.
3. Asking high-level, text-specific questions and
requiring high-level, complex tasks and assignments.
4 .Requiring students to support answers with
evidence from the text.
5. Providing extensive text-based research and writing
opportunities (claims and evidence).
