Social Studies Literacy Resources
“Reading is an essential activity for people in every walk of life, and for
students of every subject in school. The ability to read and comprehend
information is crucial to understanding society around us, as well as making
decisions and defending one’s views and opinions.Social studies teachers, like all educators, bear a responsibility to prepare students to become engaged and informed citizens. That preparation must include direct instruction in how to develop the reading skills that will help them achieve higher in social studies--and in life.” Learn NC website |
