Science and Literacy: a Guide for Primary Teachers

Comments (0)

Science and Literacy was written by people from the Nuffield Primary Science Project and the Exeter Extending Literacy Project at a time when there was renewed emphasis on teaching about literacy in primary schools. The approach recommended in the book is based on the EXIT model that was devised by the team at Exeter to show how students can be helped to interact effectively with non-fiction texts.
