This presentation provides practical approaches for integrating disciplinary literacy into everyday classroom practice. It focuses on how subject teachers can explicitly teach the reading, writing, and thinking skills that pupils need to succeed in their specific disciplines.

For example, a science teacher might model how to write a hypothesis using precise language and structured reasoning, while a history teacher could guide students in analysing sources by teaching them how to interpret bias and context through subject-specific vocabulary. These approaches help students not only access the content but also communicate their understanding in ways that reflect the conventions of the discipline.
