Abstract	Science teachers expect high school students to know how to read, understand, and learn from texts at the core of the curriculum. But though students learn to read in grade school, many do not know how to "read to learn" science. And science teachers are often too busy teaching science to actively help students increase their science reading comprehension. Teachers need effective tools to help students learn more science and develop the critical reading-to-learn skills that literacy research identifies as essential for academic success (Biancarosa and Snow 2006). This article provides three practical approaches to increase reading-to-learn competencies and student science achievement. These approaches also provide valuable information about student understanding of content. (Contains 2 figures.) (ERIC).
