Abstract
A report of how literature books can be used to create authentic contexts for teaching science at the second grade level is presented. Since, from a cognitive psychology perspective, language helps to mediate social actions and cognitive functions, at lower grade levels it is possible to use literature books to situate science learning in macro-contexts. This paper points out that instead of relying on expensive technologies, such as intelligent tutors and interactive videos, teachers could use carefully selected reading materials to provide students with meaningful contexts for science learning activities.
