I remember a fad that went through schools in SC in the late ’70’s, and
maybe it was not all bad. We had what was called “Reading Across the Curriculum.” I learned quite a lot about how to read and how to teach
reading that year. Kids reading levels in my classes rose significantly.
Now I see on the internet that another fad (if you want to call it that) is “Writing Across the Curriculum.” Part of that philosophy is known as
“Writing to Learn.” I have found one PDF, actually a chapter from a book,
that tells some about that method of learning. Knowing only a little about
how it works, I would say most anyone would benefit from that approach. I
know I learn (and study) more scripture when I write my Bible articles.
Struggling to write an article helps me understand a lot more about the
topic. I don’t mind saying that calling for help to clarify ideas has
truly helped me also.
