"Word has spread like wildfire among the science resource teachers in Broward County in Southeast Florida. At last we have a grade level specific resource to use with our students that covers all the standards and provides FCAT type assessments for long and short responses. Many of the science stories mirror the experiences of my students, and help to suggest hands-on extensions for me to provide a deeper understanding of the benchmarks. So much material to cover in so little time, but with Reading First Through Science, I am assured that all the Sunshine State Standards are met and my students are prepared for both reading and science. Whether you teach in a lab, classroom, or on a cart, I highly recommend this resource as one of your foundation blocks in constructivist learning and critical thinking." -Georgia Brown Sawgrass Elementary Broward County |
