Vast research substantiates the integration of science and
literacy, but there are very few books that correlate findings and
address specific practices. Integrating Science and Literary
Instruction connects scientific research and best instructional
practices in literacy and integrates this with the inquiry-based
scientific process. The authors emphasize process, not a particular
program, and focus on three overall areas that influence the
merging of literacy and science: inquiry-based instruction,
extensions of the science literacy framework, and special issues
within the design of each section. Each chapter provides in-depth
information to support and guide those in the educational field as
they implement a science-related literacy focus. This book
includes: * A discussion on the connection between literacy and
science * An overview of the Inquiry Based Science Process *
Details on how to integrate science into the literacy process * A
resource guide with names of books that can be integrated into a
science inquiry based lesson For K-8 teachers, principals, central
office administrators, and university professors.
