The school principal is eager to find out.

She asks her science, social stud-ies, and English/language arts teachers to discuss the next steps in carrying out effective literacy instruction.

When the teachers gather, how-ever, they discover that they have a classroom challenge in common:

“How did they reach middle school without being able to decode?”

“Is it that they can’t read the words,” asks the science teacher, Ms. For-rester,

“Or that they’ve given up even trying to read them?

I sometimes think my students panic when they encounter the big words in my class, so they simply skip them.

“A few students in my class can’t even read the words we put on the Frayer Model,” remarks Ms. Yun, who teaches social studies.

Mr. Chowdhury, the English/lan-guage arts instructor, agrees that this is a problem.

but how to help students who strug-gle with both basic and advanced reading skills is, for the moment,

a mystery.

The teachers aren’t sure. They know how important vocabulary and comprehension are to content-area learning,
