Calfee What does it mean to “write to learn science,” and why should we use writing as a vehicle for science learning when other alternatives exist? Many studies have examined the role of writing in the learning process, demonstrating that writing, in conjunction with other activities such as reading and hands-on experiences, contributes to greater critical thinking, thoughtful consideration of ideas, and better concept learning. We would like to add a basic and universal observation to these findings supporting the use of writing, particularly in science: writing makes thinking visible.

LRI About the Curriculum. All versions of our phonemic awareness curricula are based on the curriculum that Dr.
Heggerty originally developed for his own classroom. The daily lessons in all versions contain the same ten skills: Letter Naming, Rhyming, Onset Fluency, Blending, Identifying Final and/or Medial Sounds, Segmenting, Adding Phonemes, Deleting Phonemes, Substituting Phonemes, and Language Awareness. Each curriculum is intended to be completed with a whole class group. These lessons should only take between 12 and 15 minutes a day. Pacing is very important. It has been our experience that students who are struggling can benefit from multiple, repeated exposures to these lessons.
This should be a fun-filled time. PALS Reading. Reading Products for Educators PALS Reading is a structured, peer-mediated reading activity appropriate for students in preschool through grade 6 and high school.

Overview In 1997, Congress asked the NICHD, through its Child Development and Behavior Branch, to work with the U.S. Department of Education (ED) in establishing a National Reading Panel that would evaluate existing research and evidence to find the best ways of teaching children to read. The 14-member Panel included members from different backgrounds, including school administrators, working teachers, and scientists involved in reading research.
On April 13, 2000, the National Reading Panel concluded its work and submitted its final reports. Topic Areas Specifically, Congress asked the Panel to: In addition, the National Reading Panel held public hearings where people could give their opinions on what topics the panel should study.
