This conceptual paper argues for a conscious effort in bringing scientific literacy to the forefront of primary school literacy education. The article intends to make key stakeholders, especially the curriculum leaders reflect on the importance of beginning scientific literacy education in the primary schools particularly in the early years through a redefinition of literacy education. In addition to reviewing policy documents, and relevant literature, the writers will occasionally dip into their experiences as primary classroom practitioners, school leaders and teacher educators to create awareness on the value of scientific literacy in the primary school curriculum.
