Note On Range & Content of Student Reading

I found this quote quite interesting from the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (page 60)

Reading is critical to building knowledge in history/social studies as well as in science and technical subjects.  College and career ready reading in these fields requires an appreciation of the norms and conventions of each discipline, such as the kinds of evidence used in history and science; an understanding of domain-specific words and phrases; an attention to precise details; and the capacity to evaluate intricate arguments, synthesize complex information, and follow detailed descriptions of events and concepts.
