Description

"Finally, a book with sound research and ready-to-use strategies to connect reading and science!"
-Jenny Sue Flannagan, Director, Martinson Center for Mathematics and Science, School of Education, Regent University

"This work shows how reading scientific texts differs from reading literary texts and describes the tools teachers need to teach reading in science."
-Stephen P. Norris, Canada Research Chair in Scientific Literacy, University of Alberta

"The authors address what few recognize-that reading is an issue in science, but ultimately no one is teaching students to read science."
-Sally Koczan, Science Teacher, Wydown Middle School, Clayton, MO

Included are activities as well as sample lessons to help students:

  • Read and comprehend science texts
  • Find related resources to explore particular interests
  • Build their science vocabulary
  • Write to learn science concepts

This volume is valuable for teachers, leaders of professional development workshops, institutes, topical seminars in science and literacy, science and reading methods courses, and study groups.
