Introduces literacy at word, sentence and text level – especially issues around scientific terminology: why some words are difficult, why spelling words accurately may be helpful to the understanding of science and how we can develop students’ skills. Also introduced is a taxonomy of words in science that helps teachers to decide which words are ‘key’.
Makes clear the importance of text as a tool for learning science and explores ways in which students can be helped to access science texts. It explores types of reading, shared reading and the use of active reading strategies. It also provides pointers to help teachers to assess useful text sources or to create their own.
