- Abstract
Disciplinary literacy skills are essential for building knowledge in science and engineering, and teaching such literacy skills is a shared responsibility of middle school science and English language arts (ELA) teachers (NGSS Lead States 2013). An Example: "Flight of the Bumblebee" (FOTB) multimodal multigenre STEM text set We organize STEM text sets around an anchor text describing recent studies of phenomena relevant to students' lives (Folk and Palmer 2016). Teachers implement the text set in lessons designed for their learners' needs; it is important to note that all learners engage with and work toward mastery of the anchor text.
