Description

This comprehensive 32-page, full-color teacher guide offers outstanding science support and easy-to-use literacy suggestions as students read their nonfiction Delta Science "Earth, Moon, and Sun" Student Reader (sold separately). Whether you’re a new educator or a seasoned one, this booklet will help you help your student(s) to develop their informational literacy skills (such as mastering the text features of headers, captions, illustrations, charts, and academic vocabulary) as well as the critical thinking skills required for science and STEM learning.

As the text and content in the Student Reader book becomes sequentially more complex from beginning to end, this Teacher Guide will provide the tools and steps to lead every student to: read for evidence; dig deep in the text for meaning; and activate a wide range of critical thinking skills such as inquiring, questioning, investigating, noting, analyzing, and proving. Plus, a Unit Test at the end will wrap up your lessons and quickly assess students’ understanding and to see if it meets at-level state testing and Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
