Making Connections
Authentic Literacy and Language (ALL) for Science is a unique curriculum framework that encourages learners to read, write, speak, and listen in ways that are authentic to the practice of science and actual scientists.

The ALL for Science framework, developed by the K–3 STEM Foundations project funded by the Science Education Partnership Awards program of the National Institutes of Health, is aligned with state standards and the national Next Generation Science Standards.
