This book is highly recommended for teachers and leaders who
are seeking ways to ensure all teachers understand how to
teach literacy in their subjects. The book guides teachers in all
subjects to identify the literacy features of their disciplines, and
to use that knowledge to inform their teaching.
Often differences in disciplines are perceived to be one of
content, but disciplinary literacy recognises that each subject
has its own ways of thinking, reading, writing and speaking.
Furthermore, each discipline has its own forms of writing. For
example, an essay in history is quite different to one in
psychology or geography.
Central to the ideas in this book, is the concept of a whole
school literacy culture where teachers understand the literacy of
their disciplines while also the more general literacy practices
that function across disciplines.
