Abstract

Abstract : This forum article discusses using disciplinary literacy approaches for reading literary text targeting interpretation as a goal. Disciplinary literacy approaches make the assumption that literacy tasks and processes differ based upon the demands, goals, and epistemology of each discipline and that identifying these differences is key toward creating instruction for students. As such, we explicate a disciplinary approach to help build interpretation skills of developmental readers while working through literary texts within English language arts contexts and settings.
