Success in Science through Dialogue, Reading and Writing

Success in Science through Dialogue, Reading and Writing is a must have for any teacher of science or after school educator who wants to help science come alive for students. With the arrival of the Common Core science educators have been tasked with attending to literacy in science lessons and in the science classroom. Success in Science through Dialogue, Reading and Writing answers the question - how do I teach science and attend to literacy at the same time? The use of the Science Literacy Framework© and the combination of techniques that use dialogue, reading and writing provide a strategic method for increasing student achievement in science, while helping students improve their reading, writing and communication skills. The Science Literacy Framework© approach leads not only to increases in student understanding of science but also to improved student reading and writing - and it will increase your enjoyment of teaching science. "I've looked for ways to incorporate writing into my science instruction. Not only did this help me do that, it changed the way I teach, forever." -Aaron Stephens, High School Teacher- "With the Common Core requirements I needed a way to make science literacy part of my instruction - this book more than filled that need." -Leslie Garrett, 7th Grade Teacher- "Using the framework and techniques in this book made teaching fun for me again." -Phil Thunen, Biology Teacher-
