Definition: Content-area literacy refers to
the ability to learn through reading. Learning in all content areas is
supported by strong reading comprehension strategies and study skills.
Students need to know how to apply a variety of reading comprehension
strategies to different types of texts, analyze the structures and
features of expository (informational) texts, and select and vary their
reading strategies for different texts and purposes. Teachers need to
model and provide explicit instruction in these skills and strategies
and provide students with frequent opportunities for guided and
independent practice using them. (Source: Supplement to the Program

Physical Education Lessons 1: 41 lesson plan ideas for physical education. These lesson plans include game rules, health lessons, and lessons that relate to other content areas. It also contains a link to Lesson Plans 2. Reading in PE/Health is more that reading about sport/fitness. Everyone needs to be knowledgeable about health issues which impact them and their family—prevention, treatment, knowledgeable consumers of health products. Social image of PE is the biggest barrier—students must be active and therefore PE isn’t a place for reading. Need to change this mindset. Time is also a major factor along with the spaces not being conducive to reading. Teachers need to model the importance of reading. Provided some excellent strategies: Vocabulary on the Wall; Following Directions (Cause/Effect); Sequencing; Compare/Contrast; Mystery Athlete (can be modified with games). Disagreed with reading while on the exercise bike/treadmill. Students should be actively engaged in the activity—charting their heart rates, focusing on specific muscle groups, breathing techniques, lung capacity, sharing with partners and getting to know their bodies and the different ranges of exercise for fitness.
