Inquiry & Literacy

This literary-focused, social studies curriculum features an engaging student book, detailed teacher’s guide and online platform, wet-erase maps and globes, engaging activities, leveled student readers, and more. A cast of characters provide students with additional context while exposing them to other cultures and emphasizing the concept of community.

Hands-On

The comprehensive, hands-on social studies curriculum is uniquely designed to support the varied learning styles of your classroom. The diverse contents of the program encourage student-led inquiry and promote depth of knowledge. It includes hands-on maps, globes, and activities for students to develop literacy and inquiry, as well as key geographic mapping and spatial thinking skills.
