Reading, writing, language, listening, speaking, viewing, and thinking are interrelated skills that work together in ELA instruction. Giving students various and differentiated ways to engage in ELA content will continue to build the necessary skills students need 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.
