When it comes to literacy in science it is highly advised to introduce multiple forms of literacy techniques in order to engage your students. The diversity of the classroom is dependent upon a diverse array of literacy resources. Incorporating literacy into a science lesson is a great way to hook your students in the beginning by engaging them with a topic to discuss and integrating the subject material into a science activity.
The National Science Teachers Association plays a huge part in giving educators dependable and accredited resources to introduce literacy and many other types of media into science curriculum.
The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), founded in 1944 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is the largest organization in the world committed to promoting excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all. NSTA's current membership of 55,000 includes science teachers, science supervisors, administrators, scientists, business and industry representatives, and others involved in and committed to science education.(http://www.nsta.org/about/overview.aspx) Every year the National Science Teacher Association publishes their award winning books.
