Improve reading, writing and mathematics
- Stile seamlessly integrates reading, writing and math into everyday science.
- Skills are built explicitly and deliberately, with plenty of scaffolds.
- Alignment to Common Core made visible to teachers.
WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING
“The fact that there’s always a little bit of numeracy embedded in the lessons in a really authentic way is amazing.”Michelle FyfeScience Department Chair

Reading
Empower students at every reading level to excel in reading
Age-appropriate science articles that spark curiosity
Our units feature engaging, age-appropriate science articles that are super informative. But the real kicker? They’re designed to make students lean in. Complete with comprehension questions, these articles bring concepts to life while boosting reading skills and sending curiosity off the charts.
Annotation exercises
Students are guided through reading exercises in their Stile X workbooks with annotation exercises. The annotation exercises have students highlighting definitions, underlining key terms, sketching ideas and more, in a scaffolded and consistent manner.
A glossary at students` fingertips
Science terms can feel like a whole new language, but with Stile’s on-hover glossary, students get quick, illustrated definitions whenever they need them. Whether in English or Spanish, and with audio read-aloud options, tricky terms are no longer stumbling blocks. Hint: they’re stepping stones.
Audio narration with word-by-word highlighting
Got a tricky text? No problem. With Stile’s audio narration, students can follow along as each word is read aloud and highlighted, syncing spoken language with written text. Even better, teachers can record their own voice for a personal touch.
Writing
Cultivate reading and writing confidence in the classroom
Clear communication through written responses
Effective science means clear communication. Beyond multiple-choice and cloze questions, it’s vital that students express their understanding in written form. Stile integrates open-ended writing questions into most lessons, encouraging students to articulate their ideas clearly and thoughtfully.
Master note-taking, a skill for life
Note-taking is a skill that stays with students through higher education, the workplace, and beyond. Stile helps students develop this essential skill, starting with highlighting and annotation in early grades, and progressing to Cornell note-taking techniques later on.
Got that all down?
Personalised feedback to sharpen spelling and grammar
At the core of Stile’s student-teacher workflow is personalised feedback. With Stile’s feedback tools, teachers can easily highlight specific words or sentences in student responses, prompting students to continuously refine and strengthen their spelling and grammar, one response at a time.
Mathematics
Master the language of science through mathematics
Unpacking mathematical relationships in science
From calculating energy efficiency to measuring population declines, Stile’s lessons help students input data into equations, making connections between numerators and denominators, ratios, and percentages. That’s the science of maths for you!
Analyse and interpret real-world data
Stile’s lessons are packed with real-world data that students can sink their teeth into. Through analysis and interpretation, students learn to draw conclusions—or identify when conclusions can`t be drawn—honing their data literacy and critical thinking skills.
Balancing equations and boosting algebra skills
Students explore the mathematical foundations of chemical equations in Stile’s lessons. As they practise balancing these equations, they reinforce their understanding of algebra, seamlessly blending science and maths to solidify core concepts. Solve x, have fun, repeat!
