Tips and Ideas:

State the Connection: Explain how your specific subject builds the vocabulary and background knowledge students need to actually understand what they read.
Highlight the Risk: Point out that cutting your subject doesn't just lose "facts"—it loses the critical thinking and inquiry skills unique to your field.
The Specific Ask: Demand protected instructional minutes so that literacy interventions supplement, rather than replace, core content.
Define the Goal: Emphasize that a "well-rounded education" is a civil right that prepares students for both careers and citizenship.
