Reviews

This noteworthy and practitioner-focused book would be a great addition for a classroom teacher's library or on an elementary methods course reading list. --Teachers College Record I was very impressed with the way the authors put three very 'hot topics' together, explained how they connect, and laid out a clear, highly detailed teaching framework that makes use of those connections. I also really liked the authors' reassurance that since the Core Disciplinary Practices are standards-aligned, teachers need only to extend what they are already teaching to include a disciplinary literacy element, using the PEDDL Framework to guide them. --Illinois Reading Council Journal
