Our Community With Reading Instruction

Description

Children often struggle to comprehend nonfiction reading materials in the content areas. It can also be difficult to fit in social studies curriculum given all you have to teach every day. Integrating Our Community with Reading Instruction is a dual solution! This resource includes six units that cover citizenship, geography, and economics. The units are based on the most common social studies topics taught in grades 1-2 in accordance with the national social studies standards. Each unit provides a nonfiction social studies story; prereading and postreading strategies; critical thinking, logic, and test-taking pages; as well as a hands-on social studies activity. Using the lessons in this resource, children will continue learning to read while reading to learn. They will also become more successful readers while gaining new social studies knowledge and experiences, and you will maximize your teaching time by integrating the social studies curriculum with reading instruction.
