Developing Children's Content Reading Skills During Hands-on Science Time

author: Presented at the International Conference, University of Victoria, Canada
description: From the poster: "The focus on learning to read begins to change to a focus on reading to learn in the primary grades. Fiction and non-fiction narratives will continue to serve as the main vehicle for learning to read instruction, but it is in the content areas like science, where students will develop reading strategies that will carry them through their remaining school years, their careers, and their lives...We have shared just some ways that teachers can turn hands-on science experiences into quality learning instruction."
