Reading like a Scientist: Using Literature Circles and Primary Sources to Build Literacy in Secondary Science
Wednesday July 30, 2025 3:30pm - 4:30pm MDT
TBA
Want to get your students into actual scientific literature while also building foundational literacy skills? Learn about how I have brought science literacy into my dual credit chemistry classes by having students analyze primary sources and participate in literature circles.

These strategies can easily be adapted to any grade level or content area, and bring FUN to science literacy!
