Science and Literacy Integration
Linking
Science and Literacy in the K–8 Classroom
NSTA Press
Grades K–8
Linking Science and Literacy is divided into two kinds of convincing content. In 16 chapters, prominent National Science Foundation-funded researchers and professional development experts write in lay language about the connections between science and literacy. They offer a broad range of perspectives from the classroom, district administrators, and the research community. The nine accompanying “case stories” show how teachers actually made the curriculum connections in K–8 classrooms.
