“It is obvious that this book will be of great use to the classroom teacher looking to expand student success through the application of theoretically sound and practically successful arts integration strategies. It is also an important contribution to the general field of the arts in education.” —Journal for Learning through the Arts, UC Irvine “With a particular focus upon language literacy, the author depicted arts integration strategies found to enhance student performance by offering opportunities for meaning-making (learning to listen, speak, and interact with text) and effective expression (learning to communicate as speakers and writers). A strength of the book is that the author advocates for a co-equal cognitive form of integration where arts learning and language learning are equally emphasized within learning contexts. This emphasis is important because arts educators are understandably critical of approaches that place the arts in a subservient role, or of situations where the arts subjects are replaced by arts integration altogether. A strong arts curriculum is necessary to ensure that students develop high skill levels in each of the arts, a key to effective integration.” —Teachers College Record “Overall, Arts Integration in Diverse K–5 Classrooms: Cultivating Literacy Skills and Conceptual Understanding offers in- and pre-service teachers a rich platter of texts, activities, and lesson plans that integrate arts in literacy instruction.” —Journal of Language and Literacy Education
