The fifth edition of Literacy and Learning in the Content Areas: Enhancing Knowledge in the Disciplines provides readers with the knowledge, motivation, tools, and confidence for integrating literacy in their disciplinary classrooms. Offering a literature-based approach to teaching disciplinary literacy, the new edition shares important ways in which teachers of courses in the disciplines can enhance student learning of subject matter and skills while also fostering their growth in the many facets of literacy. Throughout each chapter, Kane provides engaging and creative strategies and activities to make literacy come alive in discipline-specific courses and to encourage students to explore and learn in the classroom. Embedded in each chapter are examples, resources, and strategies to help readers actively engage with and implement literacy practices. These features include Teaching in Action examples by subject area; Activating Prior Knowledge activities to stimulate critical thinking to prepare readers to learn complex theoretical and conceptual material about teaching, learning, and literacy; and end-of-chapter Application Activities to apply field experiences to classroom use. 

New to the Fifth Edition

  • Every chapter of this new edition is updated to reflect the current approaches, standards, and benchmarks for discipline-specific literacy.
  • A new introduction with reading activities for professors to exemplify a common reading experience with their students, supported by online reading materials.
  • New book talks to highlight books that show disciplinary thinking in action, including literature related to art, physical education, economics, computer science, engineering, food science, music, robotics, environmental science, agricultural science, family and consumer science, and technology.
  • Expanded practical instructional strategies, with new examples focused on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) fields and topics relating to diversity and language, ESL/ENL, and modern language learning.
  • Updated examples and activities to emphasize students’ active involvement in their own learning.
  • An ongoing, interactive instructor and student resource website with current and updated resources and book talks

Arvustused

'My students and I love the Book Talks feature of Kanes text! The literature represented in the Book Talks provides the structure and content for students to do Book Talks in the college classroom and ultimately gives them the confidence to do them in their own classrooms!'

- Dr. Jennifer Kagan, Associate Professor, School of Education, State University of New York at Oswego, USA

'A notable strength of Kanes text is its introductory approach to literacy and learning in secondary classrooms. With a developing awareness of literacy instruction and best practices, students within an undergraduate course can make connections to their own experiences as K12 students. As these connections are made, these prospective teachers are able to apply the literacy concepts outlined in the text to their future content area lessons. Further, the text features useful strategies for students to try out in each aspect of literacy instruction.'

- Pete Arruda, State University of New York at Oneonta, USA

'Whether for writing curriculum or to use when mentoring new teachers, I consistently reach for this book every school year. Kane's ideas for integrating literature into the various content areas continue to be creative ways to enhance student comprehension of important discipline concepts as well as boosting classroom engagement.'

- Anne Cramer, Literacy Coordinator and Middle School Teacher, Peachtown Elementary School, Aurora, New York, USA

'Sharon Kanes book is relevant for novice and experienced teachers. Discussions of the rich array of strategies she presents in detail serve my students well! Her book provides a lens for their past classroom practice and ideas for how they can re-encounter literacy in their current or future classrooms. Thats the heart of this book prompting teachers to develop visions of how they will address literacy in their present or future classrooms.'
