Abstract
Developing and implementing relevant, challenging, integrative, and exploratory curriculum is critical at all levels of schooling.

Specifically, it introduces trade books as a way to integrate science and literacy and address national science and literacy content standards. It also describes using copy change to teach earth science in a fifth‐grade classroom and shares samples of student work that resulted from this engagement. It ends with reflections of the experience and final thoughts for integrating science and literacy at all levels of schooling.
