The pairing of science and reading can be a match made in heaven.
Hands-on science activities can raise all sorts of questions in the
minds of students. But since it isn’t possible for students to learn all
there is to know about science from firsthand investigations in the
classroom, reading science texts gives students another way to answer
their questions and gain scientific knowledge.
Moreover, when you add reading activities to science, you promote
important general literacy skills. Good science texts help students
broaden their vocabulary, gain background knowledge, and understand how
reading material is structured.
Give your students new opportunities for learning
with Carolina’s

age-appropriate, grade-specific materials
