Disciplinary Literacy is a relatively new model for content area integration.  “This new model, aptly called “Disciplinary Literacy,” recognizes that reading, writing, thinking, reasoning, and doing within each discipline is unique- and leads to the understanding that every field of study creates, communicates, and evaluates knowledge differently.  As such, each content-area teacher is responsible for showing students how to use discipline-specific literacy skills as tools for accessing content and, with a sigh of relief, incorporating reading strategies only when they make sense within the context of the discipline.” – Chapter 1 of This is Disciplinary Literacy by Releah Cossett Lent (Corwin, 2016)
