We don't use a science "text" in our district but I was able to pilot a program this year out of Berkeley called "Seeds of Science, Roots of Reading" that beautifully combines reading skills with science skills. I think it has made my children much stronger readers and they love it! It's funny that they don't consider it "reading" and just giving it the label of "science" generates a certain amount of enthusiasm. I know that they are looking for teachers in the field to pilot the program next year. They continue to add on new units of study. It might be of interest to you if your district is looking for a forward thinking program. Leslie S.
