12. How reading gets reinforced... Success in any subject relates to a student's reading skills. In math, students must be able to read and comprehend word problems before answering them. They must be able to distinguish between pertinent information, and have a strong math vocabulary base. In science, students should be able to read and follow procedures in the scientific method during science labs. They should also be able to write down their observations, and draw conclusions from their observations. In social studies, students should be able to read and comprehend articles on current events or other topics. They should also be able to answer questions relating to what was read, as well as make comparisons. Our new reading textbook includes a Social Studies component to tie in with Common Core. In spanish, we correlate and reinforce reading skills taught in English with Spanish text. Studies show that language and reading skills taught in one language transfer to other languages.
