High School
3) Next Generation Science Standards
Overview - The training provided in the MD4 Reading program provides a foundation for and is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards for Science and Engineering Practice. The correlation between the cognitive and phonological training will vary depending on the individual, their specific weaknesses and there grade level. Following are the areas where the training provided in the MD4 Reading program align with NGSS.
Science and Engineering Practice:
Asking Questions and Defining Problems
Students at any grade level should be able to ask questions of each other about the texts they read, the features of the phenomena they observe, and the
conclusions they draw from their models or scientific investigations. For engineering, they should askquestions to define the problem to be solved and to elicit
ideas that lead to the constraints and specifications for its solution. (NRCFramework 2012, p. 56)
Grades K-5
NGSS aligns with and supports CCSS Literacy Anchor Standards and Relevant Portions of the Corresponding Standards for Science and Technical Subjects for grades K-5. As a foundation for and alignment with CCSS standards the MD4 Reading program also aligns with NGSS.
CCR Reading Anchor #1: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
- RST.6 - 8.1: “...support analysis of science and technical texts.”
- RST.9 - 10.1: “...support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to the precise details of explanations or descriptions.”
- RST.11 - 12.1: “...support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account.”
Connection to Science and Engineering Practice
Evidence plays a critical role in the kinds of questions asked, information gathered, and findings reported in science and technical texts. The notion of close reading in Reading Standard 1 emphasizes the use of asking and refining questions in order to answer them with evidence that is either explicitly stated or implied.
CCR Reading Anchor #7: Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse formats and media, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.
- RST.6 - 8.7: “Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that
- information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).”
- RST.9 - 10.7: “Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words.
- RST.11 - 12.7: “...evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem.”
CCR Reading Anchor #7 - Connection to Science and Engineering Practice - Scientists and engineers present data in a myriad of visual formats in order to reveal meaningful patterns and trends. Reading Standard 7 speaks directly to the importance of asking questions about and evaluating data presented in different formats.
CCR Reading Anchor #8: Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence.
- RST.6 -8.8: “Distinguish among facts, reasoned judgment based on research findings, and speculation...”
- RST.9 -10.8: “Assess theextent to which the reasoning and evidence in a text support the author’s claim or a recommendation for solving a scientific or technical problem.”
- RST.11 -12.8: “Evaluate the hypotheses, data, analysis, and conclusionsin a science or technical text, verifying the data when possible and corroborating or challenging conclusions with other sources of information.”
CCR Reading Anchor #8 - Connection to Science and Engineering Practice - Challenging or clarifying scientific hypotheses, arguments, experiments or conclusions - and the evidence and premises that support them - are key to this practice. Reading Standard 8 emphasizes evaluating the validity of arguments and whether the evidence offered backs up the claims logically.
