Mary Lou - by the 'strategies', what exactly are you referring to? The different ways to read text books and trade books? Along the lines of 'every teacher is a reading teacher'?
Bill's suggestion for approach is good. Our middle level team in our union is working backwards toward the lower grades in establishing a research-paper-writing process. They have looked at what they want to see a research paper look like by 8th grade and then have broken that down by grade level expectations.
