This resource guide begins by outlining the theory underlying the literacy work and then lays out the framework for the supports included in the Readers series. Subsequent chapters describe and illustrate the specific content literacy and language development strategies that have been chosen as being of particularly high impact. Although most of the strategies can be used in multiple ways, we have chosen to present them as occurring ŇBeforeĐDuringĐand After ReadingÓ because of the importance of this mental model in effective content literacy instruction.

PICS is the only college-selection software program that ASSESSES a student's personality and then DETERMINES the ideal characteristics of a college suited to the individual. This is not an inventory in which a student indicates preferred student body size, living environment and campus attitudes. In fact, there are very few questions related to college at all. Instead, PICS evaluates each answer to the set of paired questions and then provides a profile of the kind of college or university the student should consider.
