    Successful implementation of Ohio’s new science learning standards can be greatly enhanced by using reading instructional techniques and tools. On day one of this workshop, teachers will learn and practice the following tools and tasks:
    *The four primary text structures used in expository science texts
    *The use of graphic organizers and signal words to help students understand novel science content
    *A sentence-completion task that accomplishes: vocabulary practice, main idea identification, and written paraphrasing
     
    Dozens of science content paragraphs will be provided to attendees. These paragraphs will be aligned with major science topics (e.g., matter, cells, space, energy) within grades 5-8.
     
    On day two, teachers will work with their science texts or find texts online to build additional paragraphs for use during their science units. Day two will also provide some resources and strategies for research projects within their science content.
