Reviews for Literacy in the Disciplines: A Teacher´s Guide for Grades 5-12
These days teachers are often told of the importance of reading like historians, scientists, literary critics, and so on.

Wolsey and Lapp fill this breach admirably with this very practical guide on the teaching of disciplinary literacy.
