A Curriculum Strategy That Expands Time for In-Depth Elementary Science Instruction by Using Science-Based Reading Strategies: Effects of a Year-Long Study in Grade Four.
Romance, Nancy R.; Vitale, Michael R.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v29 n6 p545-54 Aug 1992
Reports a study of replacing a basal reading program with a curriculum emphasizing science activities, science process skills, and science-content-based reading in three fourth-grade classrooms (n=51). Results showed these students displayed significantly greater sores on tests of reading and science, and more positive attitudes toward science and reading compared to a demographically similar control group.
