Content Literacy and English Language Development
Large numbers of students are unable to access expository text at their
grade level in most subject areas, including history and international studies.
As a result, students' academic performance is at least as likely to falter
on literacy skills as on actual understanding of the basic concepts, knowledge
and understanding. While heightened attention is being given to "learning
to read" strategies in the early grades in California schools, many students
from elementary through high schools urgently need language development
experiences (content literacy, ELD) in the academic content fields. As a
result, CISP sites incorporate language development components in their
programs in order to assist teachers and their students to access academic
content in international studies and history-social science.
