In today’s classrooms—science and otherwise—all teachers are charged with helping students develop literacy skills. One effective method for supporting literacy is to create your own science classroom library. These collections can encourage students to read while also helping them to develop background and science-content knowledge. The collection should reflect your specific teaching area but also reach beyond it to provide students with a wide range of experiences in all of the sciences. In this month's Idea Bank, you'll discover how to start a classroom library of your own.
