“Read-aloud time is typically dedicated to building reading comprehension. Sometimes teachers incorporate some social studies ideas, but rarely does math get to be front and center. That should change because math and reading don’t exist in separate silos. Adults who use math on a daily basis also need to be strong, fluent readers. Likewise, math requires strong logical reasoning skills, which can be honed in tandem with with reading skills. This is why reading about math, as well as using reading as an opportunity to engage with mathematical concepts, should be embraced.” (more)
