Rethinking Text Sets to Support Knowledge Building and Interdisciplinary Learning
Lupo, Sarah M.; Berry, Alicia; Thacker, Emma; Sawyer, Amanda; Merritt, Joi
Reading Teacher, v73 n4 p513-524 Jan-Feb 2020
Building content knowledge alongside the task of increasing literacy skills has become a goal for many elementary classrooms. Selecting and implementing texts for the literacy block that both increase content knowledge and develop students' literacy skills alongside increasing motivation for reading is a daunting task. The authors share a strategic approach for selecting texts called the quad text set framework. This framework involves first selecting a target text, which is a challenging content-related text, and then selecting easier texts, including visuals, to build background knowledge and a hook text to garner interest in the topic. The teacher then decides how to implement the texts to best support students' content learning. The authors describe considerations for selecting and ordering texts for interdisciplinary units to maximize content learning and literacy and provide examples of how to implement quad text sets related to math, science, and social studies.
