Integration of science content and literacy skills and strategies optimizes instructional time.
Units are aligned to National Science and Reading standards, as well as standards for English Language Development.
Students surpass expectations and transition to content-area reading and writing in later grades with confidence and success.
Advice on best practices in both fields is woven throughout the program to ensure acquisition of comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency goals, as well as strong gains in science conceptual understanding and science inquiry abilities.

Recognized for Innovation
Cultivating science skills within literacy development can be a powerful way to build reading students' skills and learn science content at the same time. Programs that are pioneering this approach include the Seeds of Science/Roots of Reading program at the University of California-Berkeley.
