Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education programs focus on growing the STEM workforce. The problem is many middle and high school students in Texas require support from the STEM teacher to comprehend complex science texts. Research shows interest in science begins to decline in adolescence leading to a shortage of employees to fill STEM careers. A gap in the literature exists for research on reading support in the middle and high school grades for STEM education programs. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore middle and high school STEM teachers' perceptions of how to support students' comprehension of science texts within a charter school system in Texas. Schema and transformational leadership theories formed the theoretical framework supporting the study. The research questions examined teacher perceptions related to teaching literacy skills in the STEM classroom, how STEM teachers support students who struggle to comprehend science texts, and how STEM teachers currently implement reading strategies for science texts. Sixteen middle and high school STEM teachers participated in the study by completing a questionnaire and submitting a lesson plan. Data were analyzed using open coding practices and Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis model. Results from the data showed STEM teachers used a variety of reading strategies at various points in the lesson cycle but faced challenges when supporting students' reading comprehension due to a lack of training and planning. The perceived role of the STEM teacher influenced individual implementation. Recommendations include more explicit teacher training and the use of technology tools.
