Reading to Learn in Science
The Science Education Research Partnership has developed a number of strategies that facilitate reading science texts. This resource provides strategies for teachers prior to, during, and after reading a science text to maximize student understanding. These strategies come with examples for teachers to view and adapt for their own classrooms.
The Frayer model and anticipation guide are great ways to build on ELA standards for students. Both strategies incorporate writing and communication skills building, which may be ideal for ESL classrooms.
