With a new chapter on GenAI--as well as numerous examples of intentional uses of AI for discipline-specific tasks--the seventh edition offers teachers a path for teaching both disciplinary and digital literacies. It includes many sample prompts that extend the best practices we have relied on for years into productive, intentional interactions that teachers can design with AI. Throughout the book, Brozo, Boyd, and Ikpeze provide examples of how teachers can inspire and guide inquiry across a variety of text types, including contemporary news media and primary sources, helping students to strengthen their own literacy practices.aEURO--Troy Hicks, PhD, Interim Associate Dean and Professor, College of Education and Human Services, Central Michigan University

How can we move adolescents to advanced levels of literacy across the disciplines? This multidimensional work invites teachers and teacher educators to interrogate and reimagine instructional practices, curricula, and assessments across varied geographic, cultural, linguistic, technological, and achievement landscapes. The challenges and rewards of getting disciplinary and content literacy right are stitched together and illustrated with thoughtful case examples.aEURO--Alfred W. Tatum, PhD, Professor and Executive Director, Literacy Research Center and Clinic, Metropolitan State University of Denver

The book is important because it challenges our assumptions and biases toward todayaEURO (TM)s culturally and linguistically diverse students. The students sitting in our classes are different than they were before the pandemic and the explosion of social media, and understanding these critical differences will help position you to become a better educator. You have to know kids to teach kids--this book helped me to get to know my students in ways that elevated their literacy skills.aEURO--Kelly Gallagher, MA, author and veteran high school English teacher
