What is literacy integration? Teachers today are faced with so many standards and requirements to meet. One simple and efficient way to cover these standards, while still helping the children build a deeper understand of all course material, is to design cross-curricular lesson plans. Integrating literacy into the classroom helps create effective communicators in all subject areas. Below are some examples of ways to integrate reading, writing, listening, speaking, and thinking into the core subject areas.
