How can reading support science instruction and scientific thinking? Reading a variety of texts and making connections within and between texts helps to develop critical thinking and broaden the students' experience. Science-related trade books offer students different approaches on the same subject, invite students to witness the world beyond their own environment, model scientific thinking and help students to make connections and ask questions. In this section, topics will include read aloud-think alouds, information book text structures and features, and strategies for linking science and literacy instruction.
