PhD Science Spanish Materials
Grade Levels K–5
PhD Science® is committed to supporting all learners as part of its effort to advance equity in science instruction. While PhD Science embeds support for English learners directly into the Teacher Edition, it also offers translated materials to provide additional access points for Spanish-speaking students.
Components of PhD Science
PhD Science is a phenomenon-based K–5 curriculum, blended seamlessly across print and digital formats, and grounded with professional development and supports to make every implementation a success.
PhD Science Trade Books
The PhD Science Core Text Library contains 36 titles. You can get your students more engaged in learning about science through authentic trade books, many of which are award winning.
All the titles are available in English, and the majority are also available in Spanish, with many of the Spanish titles exclusively available through Great Minds®. With the science trade books available through Great Minds, Spanish-speaking students can still access the same high-quality texts for parity to the texts of their English-speaking peers on the relevant science topics.
Curriculum Overview for Families
Available in both English and Spanish, these resources provide families with an overview of each module and suggestions for how to spark conversations with their child about the science topic they’re investigating.
Supporting English Learners
Supporting language development is important for all students, especially for English learners and nonstandard English speakers. PhD Science builds teachers’ capacity to support English language development through collaborative conversations, grouping, and explicit introduction of terminology.
