Teaching Disciplinary Literacy in Grades K-6

"Lupo and colleagues don’t just pay lip service to integrating content and literacy instruction; they provide teachers with a clear framework for meaningful, content-driven integration of mathematics, science, and social studies in the literacy block. Readers of this book will gain the knowledge needed to design interdisciplinary units, select texts, teach reading and writing to learn, and develop vocabulary and oral language for diverse learners, all of which the authors clearly illustrate through the experiences of two classroom teachers. I expect that novice and veteran teachers alike will find something in this book to add to their instructional repertoire."

"Teaching Disciplinary Literacy expertly provides pre- and in-service teachers with crucial content and research-based instructional techniques to meaningfully integrate science, social studies, and math content into the literacy block. The authors include a number of accessible examples from both lower and upper elementary classrooms, alongside flexible templates and invitations to apply the material to teachers’ own elementary classrooms. I look forward to using this textbook in my own content and disciplinary literacy courses!"
