[MOSAIC] Resources for teaching students to read textbooks

[Mark Destler]

Some comments from a calculus class at a high-poverty high school where I
work half-time as Title One Director.

 

Student1:  "Ms. Teacher, the math book is college level reading.  I can't do
it by myself."

 

Student2: "It takes me too long to understand what the text book is saying.
I need you to put it into words for me."

 

Any suggestions for resources to help our teachers and students?  

 

 

 

Many thanks in advance,
