Reading, writing, language, listening, speaking, viewing, and thinking are interrelated skills in ELA instruction. Providing students with various differentiated ways to engage in ELA content will continue building the necessary skills to be proficient readers and writers. Seamlessly integrating various aspects of ELA content into lessons will give students ample opportunities to continue to grow as communicators.
