With the implementation of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy, incorporating the standards into the science classroom is increasingly important. Many of the standards related to science literacy may be things that you do with your students already. For example, if your students perform laboratory experiments, it’s likely that they already follow procedures to carry out an experiment and take measurements, part of the Common Core State Standards for ELA & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Other standards involve the reading of technical or scientific texts, comprehending, and making connections between these texts, which can be textbooks, journal articles, news articles, nonfiction or fiction passages, and books. Whatever reading you choose to assign your students, the following are strategies to help students as they navigate through difficult text.
Whether you choose to incorporate readings from textbooks, journal articles, news articles, or fiction or nonfiction books, deciphering the text’s meaning can be challenging for students. These strategies should help them—and you—get the most from the reading assignments and stay on target with the Common Core State Standards.
