Educators increasingly recognize the importance of disciplinary literacy for student success, beginning as early as the primary grades.This cutting-edge volume examines ways to help K–12 students develop the literacy skills and inquiry practices needed for high-level work in different academic domains. Chapters interweave research, theory, and practical applications for teaching literature, mathematics, science, and social studies, as well as subjects outside the standard core—physical education, visual and performing arts, and computer science. Essential topics include use of multimodal and digital texts, culturally responsive sustaining pedagogy, and new directions for teacher professional development. The book features vivid classroom examples and samples of student work.
