ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'Language Arts & Agriculture '

Integrating agriculture into language arts instruction is great way to teach about agriculture! But there’s more to it than including a good agriculture book in the lesson. In this fast-paced session we’ll share strategies for how to specifically use the great agriculture books we love to build reading and comprehension skills. The session will also showcase language arts teaching strategies and examples of how teachers are using student publications like Iowa Ag Today and Ag Mags as a component of their regular language arts instruction.
