I agree that the actual teaching of reading and writing appropriate to content
areas is called for by the core. However, I think they have been very clear

As for types of nonfiction, I would not stick to literary nonfiction, but
incorporate a variety of nonfiction types so students are learning how to read
various types - literary nonfiction in my opinion is probably the easiest type
of nonfiction for students. Think articles, primary source
