Disciplinary literacy in primary schools: Reading, writing and speaking across the curriculum – 9781036006303

Drawing on the research evidence, Disciplinary Literacy in Primary Schools offers both theoretical and practical examples of how teachers can support primary pupils in reading, writing and speaking across the subject disciplines. Shareen Wilkinson draws on twenty years’ experience in primary education to outline the ways in which disciplinary literacy can help pupils to read, write and speak like scientists, geographers and historians, while exploring other areas across the curriculum. This is an essential professional development resource for all Trust leads, senior leaders, local authority advisers, teachers, curriculum leads and subject leads who are passionate about having exemplary practice.
