Follow this guide to introduce and develop your students’ literacy skills in science
Science depends as much on literacy skills as it does on maths ability. Students can lack confidence in understanding, using or communicating scientific information, as well as applying understanding of scientific concepts to real life, both of which fall under literacy skills. This article shares some tried-and-tested ways to encourage and enhance pupils’ abilities with science-focused talk, discussion and debate from a teacher educator and researcher at UCL. Use this detailed guide to build up your students’ confidence and enthusiasm with scientific language.
