Introducing Growing Readers: Literacy in the Sciences

Introducing our new Growing Readers  series for parents — all about literacy in the sciences. Many of the skills that are critical for growing strong readers and writers are also core skills in the study of science and math. Predicting, understanding cause and effect, understanding sequence, acquiring a rich vocabulary, building background knowledge, and developing the ability to read and write informational text are some of the skills we're looking at in our new series. These easy-to-read two-page tip sheets are written especially for parents and include activities and books to extend children's learning. For an example, see our March edition, Measure Up!
