"Why Do You Think That?" Exploring Disciplinary Literacy in Elementary Science, History and Visual Arts
Patrick Burke; Eithne Kennedy
Reading Teacher, v77 n5 p642-652 2024
Teaching disciplinary literacy in the elementary classroom provides rich potential for bridging the literacy-content divide, building background knowledge, extending learning, and deepening student thinking. This article explores how six elementary teachers tried and tested approaches to embedding literacy in three very different subjects: science, history, and visual arts. Drawing on data from a design-based research project, we provide suggestions for how teachers can embed high-quality literacy instruction in multiple disciplines.
