Finding the time for effective and equitable science instruction in elementary classrooms is a challenge. To address this challenge, teachers are told to integrate. What does effective integration look like and how do teachers plan for it? This session shares ideas for integrating the science of reading and sense-making in science. Participants will be introduced to a framework for aligning 5E lessons with the LETRS reading comprehension checklist. Participants will learn how to use phenomena to frame integrated lessons, when to introduce vocabulary, and how to use sentence anagrams, graphic organizers, sorts, and paragraph frames to support comprehension and writing.
