Abstract	This study describes a collaboration between the American Museum of Natural History and the Bank Street College Reading and Literacy Program. The collaboration is a response to mandated curriculum that emphasizes instruction in basic skills at the expense of content knowledge acquisition. It is designed to demonstrate ways of embedding instruction in the basic skills of reading and writing into the content of science and social studies curriculum. Participants in the collaboration report that they have gained a deeper understanding of theoretical concepts, learned how to embed skills instruction into meaning-rich curriculum, and come to understand importance of curriculum and instruction that build on children's knowledge and interests, their language strengths, and their curiosity. (Contains 2 footnotes.) (As Provided).
