Book Review: Disciplinary Literacy in Primary Schools
Disciplinary Literacy in Primary Schools - Reading, writing and speaking across the curriculum - Shareen Wilkinson- Hachette Published 22 August 2025 If I asked you what literacy in primary school looked like, you might answer with learning to read and write. While they are the foundational stones of literacy, there is much more to it. In “Disciplinary literacy in primary schools” Shareen Wilkinson captures and explores the nuances of literacy across the whole curriculum, noting the importance of learning to speak and listen, alongside reading and writing, and how these skills can and should be developed across the curriculum and how they vary in each subject.
