SOLID Start

Science, Oral Language and Literacy Development from the Start of School

Early elementary

The SOLID Start project provides a unique opportunity for K-2 teachers to develop their professional skills by integrating science and literacy. Through the use of unit and daily driving questions, multi-modal investigations, read alouds, writing activities, and synthesis discussions designed specifically for young children, teachers can engage students with exciting units of study that build both oral language skills as well as an understanding of scientific phenomena. Teacher Tips provided throughout the curriculum offer support to ensure successful implementation.
