[MOSAIC] forward from Jeremy/ELA

[Laura Cannon]

Reading and language arts should definitely be intertwined!  Reading is also
intertwined with all other subjects and teachers in those disciplines should
be familiar with comprehension strategies.

Mary Anne,

            When you say that that every student must take reading as a
requirement for graduation do you mean only the students who struggle with
reading on the FCAT's or even the students that don't still have a reading
requirement.  My name is Jeremy and I am graduate student at Syracuse
University in the Literacy program.  I ask this question b./c I went to high
school in New Jersey and reading was a really a forgotten item in the middle
and high schools.  It was included in our Language Arts class but was really
not focused on.  We missed out on a lot of items in my mind because we both
focused on reading some classes or writing other classes and never really
saw the two as connected.  Therefore I struggled in both areas and lacked
the motivation to achieve.  I was wondering if you could explain a little
more about what you mean by a reading requirement.  Is it very separate from
a Language Arts class or are they intertwined.  Thank you!!
Jeremy
