Improving Reading in Science. Reading Aids Series.
The material in this monograph is based on the idea that science content and the reading and reasoning processes for learning may be taught simultaneously in the science classroom. Topics of the six chapters are: distinguishing between content and process, developmental and functional reading; diagnosis in teaching science; preparatory activities for teaching science; the use of guided material in teaching science; the reinforcement of vocabulary and comprehension in teaching science; and evaluation in the teaching of science. Two appendixes include an informal study skills inventory on a physical science textbook and an extensive statement to students about learning to think. (JM)
