Accessible and engaging, this text provides a comprehensive framework and practical strategies for infusing content-area instruction in math, social studies, and science into literacy instruction for grades K-6.
Throughout ten clear thematic chapters, the authors introduce an innovative Content-Driven Integration (CDI) model and a roadmap to apply it in the classroom. Each chapter provides invaluable tools and techniques for pre-service classroom teachers to create a quality integrated thematic unit from start to finish. Features include Chapter Previews, Anticipation Guides, Questions to Ponder, Teacher Spotlights, "Now You Try it" sections, and more. Using authentic examples to highlight actual challenges and teacher experiences, this text illustrates what integrating high-quality, rich content-infused literacy looks like in the real world. Celebrating student diversity, this book discusses how to meet a wide variety of students’ needs, with a focus on English Language Learners, culturally and linguistically diverse students, and students with reading and writing difficulties.
A thorough guide to disciplinary integration, this book is an essential text for courses on disciplinary literacy, elementary/primary literacy, and English Language Arts (ELA) methods, and is ideal for pre-service and in-service ELA and literacy teachers, as well as consultants, literacy scholars, and curriculum specialists.

"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."
--John Z. Strong, Assistant Professor of Education, University at
Buffalo, State University of New York, USA"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!"--Courtney Hattan, Assistant Professor of Elementary
Literacy and Educational Psychology, Illinois State University, USA
