She will demonstrate strategies through the lens of Montana, Tribal and US history and will include unique methods to support students' use of textbooks and complex primary sources, and build essential background knowledge through disciplinary literacy. Discover how reading to learn and learning to read are reciprocal and co-occurring processes.
