Reading Resources a reference to an online, searchable Science Literature Database that Dr. Sue Kezios, the field supervisor in UNCW's NSF GK-12 (National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0139171) project, and science department graduate students have developed. These are fiction literature books with scientific components and then links to activities that correlate with the science. This is an excellent resource for teachers to use to integrate science and reading/literacy. It is searchable by: author, title, keyword, and reading level. Dr. Kezios presented the database at NCSTA.
There are other useful resources on the project website.
