About the Field Guide
The Middle School Matters Field Guide: Reading in the Content Areas is a collection of research-based principles and practices deemed essential for middle school success. All recommendations are based on rigorous research conducted in the middle grades over the past 15 years. In addition, the field guide was designed in collaboration with middle school teachers to ensure that it is well-organized, easy to use, and practical for a range of educators.
How to Use the Field Guide
The field guide is designed to help educators learn about proven practices and incorporate them into their classrooms. These practices can be used with all state standards and curricula and across any content area, including science and social studies, in grades 5 to 9. The practices are beneficial for all students but especially for those who require supplemental instructional support, such as English learners (ELs).
