Reading Is Thinking

Reading is Thinking is a new framework developed by Manitoba Education to improve the literacy skills of students in grades 9-12.  In September 2013, WMCI implemented this course for our new grade 9 students.  The course focuses on three big ideas: 

1.  Thinking About Self - developing identities as confident, engaged, and motivated readers.

2.   Thinking About Text - developing the characteristics and practices of proficient readers before, during, and after reading across the curricula (content area and pleasure reading)

3.   Thinking About The World - develop critical reading/literacy skills to demonstrate deeper understanding of a variety of text in order to express and substantiate personal positions as  well as solve problems,  resolve conflicts, and take action in their world.





Grade 10 Reading Is Thinking Course

WMCI is pleased to be implementing a Grade 10 Reading is Thinking (RIT) course in the first semester of 2016-2017.  This course will build on the skills developed in the Grade 9 RIT course, with an additional focus on content-area texts.  We will also be including a regular current events focus in the Grade 10 course, to assist students in developing their critical thinking skills by giving them opportunities to make more global connections to what they read, hear, and see.
