Science Through Language: Language Through Science; Working With Teachers to Make Every Moment a Language Moment

Leap Learning Systems
Chicago, IL

Preschool teachers have been tasked with developing emergent literacy skills, frequently co-teaching with a speech-language pathologist. Science activities offer opportunities to provide both content and language experiences in preschool and kindergarten. A "Language Through Science" (LTS) approach integrates language and science in preschool and kindergarten classrooms, emphasizing techniques that can be the language underpinnings of emergent literacy. We review the theory, background, outcomes data, and sample activities of a language-focused science program that can help the speech-language pathologist support content with emergent literacy activities in a classroom curriculum.
