how do I ensure that my
learners are reading and
understanding increasingly
complex texts in the content
area particularly Science?
2. As a Language Arts teacher
who will collaborate with the

in my class?
Let's create.
“TO READ LIKE A SCIENTIST”
1. Plan a “vocabulary lesson” as a

2. Create/choose a graphic
organizer that would guide
students in the Pre-reading or
Engage phase of the lesson.
3. Report the output.
