This book includes the following sections: (1) Incorporating Science into Reading Strategies in the Elementary Grades; (2) Incorporating Science into Reading Strategies in Preservice Teacher Science Methods Courses; and (3) Incorporating Science into Reading Strategies into In-Service Teacher Workshops and Institutes. Prior to these sections is a literature review of research on previous strategies used to incorporate science and reading into instruction. This volume consists of the following chapters: (1) Teaching Science with Reading Strategies (Valarie L. Akerson and Gayle A. Buck); (2) Integrating Literacy Skills into K-12 Science Education (Nicole D'Andrea); (3) Jack, a Beanstalk, and the Science of Reading (Kristen A. Poindexter); (4) What is Read, Black and White?
