| If the concepts and vocabulary of science are not taught in grades one through four, students in middle school and beyond will be faced with an inordinate number of challenging words, representing complex and unknown concepts. In this presentation, Elfrieda H. Hiebert, Adjunct Professor at the University of California at Berkeley and facilitator of the California Vocabulary Forum, will discuss the need to make science vocabulary education a priority in grades one through four. She will include in her presentation the implications of findings from a recent study that indicates a significant decrease in the amount of time devoted to science instruction and also examine how the Seeds of Science/Roots of Reading project has supported students’ vocabulary and literacy learning with science content. |
