Praise for this book

"This book belongs in the professional library of all teachers looking for ways to seamlessly merge Common Core and NGSS. The authors' clear strategies and concrete tools support the learning of science as it is practiced in the real world, while simultaneously supporting the rich use of language in a science context. This is a terrific resource for making a 21st century vision of science education come alive in the classroom." -- Page Keeley "Author and Consultant; Past President of the National Science Teachers Association"
"Puzzled on how to integrate the Common Core language arts standards into science? This book may hold the key to unlocking that question. Authors Grant, Fisher, and Lapp offer concrete suggestions and real-classroom situations to show teachers, teacher leaders, and curriculum developers the real "ins and outs" on aligning literacy standards to science." -- Douglas Llewellyn "author of Inquire Within: Implementing Inquiry- and Argument-Based Science Standards in Grades 3 8"
