Selecting Texts for Disciplinary Literacy Instruction
Colwell, Jamie
Reading Teacher, v72 n5 p631-637 Mar-Apr 2019
The author focuses on selecting texts for disciplinary literacy instruction in elementary grades. Disciplinary literacy instruction is a promising approach to engage students in socially and culturally relevant learning, and the selection of a variety of informational texts is important to planning this type of instruction. Currently, most resources on selecting socially and culturally relevant texts pertain to fiction texts in the discipline of English. Yet, informational texts are critical to learning in all disciplines and must be considered when planning for relevant literacy instruction. The Disciplinary Text Selection Table and examples of its use are presented as a resource for teachers to use in planning for disciplinary literacy in elementary grades.
