slide6. Why Are Disciplinary Texts Difficult for Students? Students may lack:
Experience reading lengthy expository text
Content-specific vocabulary
3. Decoding skills
4. Comprehension strategies
5. Background knowledge and
interest in the content<br>
slide7. Disciplinary Literacy Standards Activity Form pairs of partners A & B
A’s move to the right and partner with another A
B’s move to the left and partner with another B
Materials Needed:
The Common Core State Standards
for your discipline
(or your state standards)<br>
slide8. What are Students Expected to Know about Disciplinary Literacy? Partner A:
6-12 ELA Standards for Informational Text & Writing pg. 39-47

CCSS for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects pg. 60-66
NOTE: New insights and challenges<br>
slide9. Partner Insights On chart paper, write 2-3 insights
Post
You have 3 minutes<br>
slide10. Teachers Expected to Know<br>
slide11. What is Disciplinary Literacy? Knowledge of the unique protocols for each discipline
Historians, scientists, mathematicians, poets, musicians, artists–all approach text from unique perspectives<br>
slide12. Successful reading in various disciplines involves:<br>
slide13. Disciplinary Literacy Includes specialized skills and activities
Considers the learning demands of a subject matter
Focuses on the specialized problems of a subject area
Recognizes that each discipline possesses its own language
(Jetton & Shanahan, 2012)<br>
slide14. Disciplinary Knowledge “Recognizing disciplinary ways of using language is important because one cannot fully comprehend the texts of a specific discipline— where disciplinary knowledge is produced, stored, transmitted, and evaluated—without having a sense of how the discipline organizes knowledge through language.”
(Fang, 2012, p. 36)<br>
slide15. Disciplinary Literacy Instruction Refers to the specialized ways of knowing and communicating in the different disciplines to make meaning
Encompasses the idea that students need to be taught specialized routines
(Jetton & Shanahan, 2012)<br>
slide16. Activity: Examine Your Text What about the text is unique to your discipline?
What might be difficult for students?
What are examples of academic vocabulary specific to your discipline?
Select parts to model.<br>
slide17. Model: Talking to the Text Partner A: Annotations
Partner B: Strategies
All: Anticipated challenges for your students
Watch Student Reading Reflections<br>
slide18. Your Turn to Talk to the Text Partner B: Read and talk to the text
Partner A: Scribe
At the end of the second stanza, switch roles.
What strategies did you use?<br>
slide19. Teacher thinking about thinking Watch the Teacher Reflection video<br>
slide20. Disciplinary Literacy is NOT: Another term for content area reading
A method to work with poor readers
A generalized approach to literacy
across disciplines
Limited to study skills<br>
slide21. What About These Strategies? 1. KWL and KWHL
2. Anticipation guides
3. Semantic feature analysis
4. Text structure analysis
5. Graphic organizers
6. Other<br>
slide22. The Increasing Specialization of Literacy Development Intermediate Literacy
Comprehension, word meanings, fluency Basic Literacy Disciplinary Literacy
Specialized literacy skills Adapted from Shanahan & Shanahan, 2008<br>
slide23. Reflections of a Researcher Let’s listen to Tim Shanahan, a researcher in this field from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Listen to Dr. Shanahan's comments<br>
slide24. Dr. Shanahan’s Comments …disciplinary literacy is engaging students “in not just learning about the discipline, but actually in using reading and writing in the same way the historian or scientist does.”<br>
slide25. 10 Strategies to Read Complex Texts in the Disciplines Start with easier texts; build complexity
Start with small chunks of text & increase
Celebrate when students read longer text
Model struggling with text; honor the struggle
Teach students to pay attention to important parts of the text (graphic organizers, annotation)<br>
slide26. Strategies (continued) Set authentic purposes for reading
Model working carefully through text
Before teaching, determine the key ideas & significant details; plan supports
Teach students to collaborate with peers
Talk less; listen more. Allow students to figure out the text & answer their own questions<br>
slide27. To be continued… 3 questions you have
2 things you learned
1 thing you’ll use
Remember, I am modeling activities you can use with your students! This is an exit card activity.<br>
slide28. Part 2: Refresh Activity What new information did you learn that is beneficial to you?
What do you want to remember to use with your students?
What other skills might struggling readers need to learn?<br>
slide29. Close Reading The standards focus on students reading closely to draw evidence and knowledge from the text.
Close reading and gathering knowledge from specific texts should be at the heart of classroom activities.
Coleman & Pimentel (2012) p. 1 & 9.<br>
slide30. Components of Close Reading Read and reread for different purposes
Be an active reader—annotate
Summarize
Self-explain, ask and answer questions
Determine the significance of ideas and information
Hinchman & Moore (2013), adapted<br>
slide31. Why Reread? 1st reading: What are the main ideas of this text? (basic comprehension)
2nd reading: How does this text work? (devices used by the author, word choice, quality of evidence, how data was presented)<br>
slide32. Leading to Deep Comprehension 3rd reading: What does this text mean? (critical analysis, connect to other texts and to me)
After reading, students engage in high-level discourse to further analyze the text
Shanahan, T. (June, 2013). Shanahan on Literacy.<br>
slide33. Close Reading Takes time
May mean reading less text
Increases comprehension
Increases learning the discipline<br>
slide34. Discipline-Specific Strategies for Previewing Text Model previewing literature:
What is the significance of the title?
Who is the author?
What is the genre?<br>
slide35. Discipline-Specific Strategies for Previewing Text With a partner teaching the same subject, list what students should attend to when previewing a piece of text (pre-reading strategies).
Write the critical points on chart paper.<br>
slide36. Previewing Mathematics Skim the chapter for an overview.
Read the chapter introduction, section titles, and section summaries.
Note (and mark) unknown terms.<br>
slide37. Previewing History Who is the author?
When was it written?
What is the topic?<br>
slide38. Previewing Science What is the problem or phenomenon?
What do I know about this topic?
What do I predict about this problem or phenomenon?<br>
slide39. Modeling Close Reading of Complex Disciplinary Text Don’t commit “assumicide”
Students need explicit instruction
