    • A gap exists in pedagogical approaches for content area literacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and explain the adaptation of the directed reading activity method for content area instruction.
    • To demonstrate how reading comprehension strategies can be integrated into diverse subject matter.

    Main Methods:

    • The article adapts the six-step directed reading activity (DRA) method for content area lessons.
    • It provides specific examples of how each DRA step can be applied to subject-specific content.

    Main Results:

    • The goals of the directed reading activity align with content area objectives, including vocabulary development and comprehension.
