Omslag till Zhihui Fang & Linda L. Lamme: Language and Literacy in Inquiry-Based Science Classrooms, Grades 3-8 (ePUB)

’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


Boost students′ understanding of science with literacy strategies!


Research has long supported the positive effects of integrating literacy practices into the science curriculum; now this helpful and timely resource offers science educators effective strategies that they can implement immediately. Teachers of students in Grades 3–8 will find innovative ideas—aligned with national science education standards—for incorporating language analysis and science literature into inquiry-based science classrooms. 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.

Om författaren

Rose M. Pringle is associate professor of science education at the University of Florida School of Teaching and Learning. Her areas of research include preservice teachers’ positionality as science learners and issues associated with learning to teach inquiry-based science. She is particularly interested in working towards increasing the participation of minorities, especially girls of African descent, into mathematics and science related careers. Pringle is currently exploring the relationship between science teachers’ and counselors’ expectations and African American girls’ self-perception as science and mathematics learners.
