    • Abstract:
      The article discusses methods to infuse reading into science learning to simultaneously build students' scientific skills and literacy. Scientific literacy, which is defined as the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts required for personal decision making, participation in civic affairs, and economic productivity, can be fostered by the integration of scientific methods into other aspects of the curricula. By utilizing context texts, teachers can make education more rewarding for students who are used to dense scientific textbooks.
