2. What is Language Central for Science? Language Central for Science provides struggling readers, English Language Learners, and students who you think might need additional support, with a variety of vocabulary preview activities that will help lead them to a better understanding of specific science vocabulary terms. “The goal of the program is to directly address the academic vocabulary issues that prevent students from focusing on the science concepts being taught…we’ve seen that often it was the language, not the science, holding them back.” - Patti Aube, Science Coach

3. A program built by teachers:

4. Student Edition walk-through Students get to write-in their books giving them a true sense of ownership

5. Each lesson starts with the Big Question and clearly states what the student will be learning. Activities connect what you know with what you will learn. Look for the blue box at the start of each lesson.

6. Vocabulary terms are shown with clear visuals so students learn what they mean. Look for the red box. “Talk about it” lets students work with a partner to discuss the term further “Your Turn” allows students to utilize the word in another context (i.e. drawing)
