The teacher needs to be certain that each student is able to read effectively to understand the science subject matter being emphasized in teaching and learning situations. In ongoing lessons and units in science, the teacher must use a variety of approaches, such as: prior to students reading science content, print the new vocabulary on the board clearly; have a good reader read the selection to less able readers; tape record the science text selection to be read; diagnose and remedy weaknesses in learners' reading; use the Big Book method of instruction; use peer reading approaches; assist aides to read the science text orally to the students; let students in committees discuss what has been read to monitor comprehension; use library books instead of science texts; have conferences with students at selected intervals about the library books; and incorporate the latest technology to guide students to read and comprehend well in science subject matter.
