- Abstract
The article investigates the effects on the development of communication skills among children that result from their experiences with manipulative science activities in elementary science education. Those children that scored lowest on the Florida State Assessment Test that used the Science: A Process Approach program were used in the study. It shows that the treatment that utilized science to remediate communications deficiencies of third-grade children was much more successful in improving reading skills than writing skills.
