Blend Balanced Literacy With Global Literacy
Language arts is an important part of educating literate students. However, there is another meaning to "literacy" and that is "global literacy". That means an awareness and an understanding of people, places and life outside one's own back yard. Using the Simon and Barklee platform, educators can blend the teaching of global literacy into a language arts program using the concepts and practices of Balanced Literacy theory.
