Using Language and Literacy Strategies to Enrich Science Teaching
Wednesday July 30, 2025 2:15pm - 3:15pm MDT
TBA
How do we effectively teach science content when our students are still learning the vocabulary and language of science?  Natalie Wexler explains in Beyond the Science of Reading  (2025) that background knowledge is an essential element of the Science of Reading and that the vocabulary and language of academic content must be explicitly taught.  This class will explore strategies from dual-immersion and language acquisition research to discuss how to connect literacy to science content and immerse learners in the language of science.  Although the activities will be based in science content, many of the strategies will be applicable to other content as well.
