WHY: The research-based rationale in support of this Advanced Literacy strategy.
“College- and career-ready standards, expect students to use evidence from texts to present careful analyses, well-defended claims, and clear information. A key method to help students develop these skills is the use of text-dependent questions: questions that can only be answered by referring back to the text.”

HOW: Resources, materials, and support to implement this Advanced Literacy strategy.

Teachers sometimes focus on content but do not always see the link between how reading and writing leads to understanding of that content. Teachers need to make this link for themselves and their students by:
- Utilizing Pre-reading strategies to help students organize their background knowledge and set the purpose for what students are about to read
- During or Guided Reading Activities - students need a specific set of structured means to integrate what they learned during pre-reading strategies with what they learn as they read text
- Post reading - Teachers provide students with opportunities to step back and test their understanding of the text
