What's the Gist? Bridging Literacy and Science

This document discusses strategies for integrating literacy and science education. It recommends having students read a range of science-related texts, from passages to interactive ebooks. Students should read purposefully to gain knowledge across disciplines and refine their understanding through activities like writing in science journals, responding to writing prompts, and creating videos or digital stories. The goal is to help students become self-directed, engaged learners who can explore resources and ask thoughtful questions about complex topics in science.
