School science is dominated by textbook-oriented approaches to
teaching and learning. Some surveys reveal that students have to
read, depending on academic level, between ten and thirty-six pages
per week from their textbook. One therefore has to ask, To what
degree do textbooks introduce students to the literary practices of
their domain? Few studies have addressed the quality of science
curriculum materials, particularly textbooks, from a critical
perspective. In this light, we are concerned in this book with
better understanding the reading and interpretation practices
related to visual materials-here referred to as inscriptions-that
accompany texts. Our overarching questions included: What practices
are required for reading inscriptions?' and Do textbooks allow
students to develop levels of graphicacy required to critically
read scientific texts?'
