HyeJin Hwang; Sonia Q. Cabell; Rachel E. Joyner – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
This study synthesized impacts of integrated literacy and content-area instruction (i.e., science, social studies) on vocabulary and comprehension outcomes in the elementary years (i.e., kindergarten through fifth grade). A systematic search of the extant literature identified 35 (quasi)experimental studies. Random-effects models were used to…

This article provides an organizational review of content literacy instructional strategies to forward a claim that some strategies work better for surface learning, whereas others are more effective for deep learning and still others for transfer learning. The authors argue that the failure to adopt content literacy strategies by disciplinary…

Francis, Michelle Andersen; Armstrong, Sonya L. – Journal of Developmental Education, 2018
The face of developmental reading is changing. Yet, the mission does not change: Students must be prepared to tackle academic texts if they are to be successful in college, and this is the essence of academic literacy instruction. Developmental reading professionals must have a deep understanding of academic vocabulary acquisition. Unfortunately,…

Dunkerly-Bean, Judith; Bean, Thomas William – Journal of Literacy Research, 2016
This conceptual review addresses the bifurcation of content area and disciplinary literacy by examining each as regimes of truth. We look specifically at the ways in which both approaches comprise, in Foucault's terms, "regimes of truth" within their respective epistemological domains. Following a brief history of adolescent literacy,…
