- Abstract
The article offers information on the Integrated Science Literacy Enactments (ISLE) approach to teaching and learning science in the U.S. It states that the approach is one way to develop students' science understandings, while simultaneously enhancing their communication skills. ISLE engages young children in science through hands-on explorations and numerous literacy oriented learning experiences. The importance and the procedure of the approach, as well as the discussion on some of books created by students in Ibett Ortiz's second grade bilingual class are also presented.
