Boost students' critical-thinking skills in grades K-12 using high-interest social studies content. This classroom resource provides leveled text-dependent questions to support students as they examine social studies texts and provide evidence for their answers. Teachers can differentiate and scaffold instruction with the useful strategies that are aligned with standards and build students' comprehension skills.
Each of the 120 text-dependent questions is provided at four different complexity levels that correlate to grades K-1, 2-4, 5-8, and 9-12. This invaluable resource makes a great addition to any balanced literacy classroom.
These comprehensive resources provides teachers with leveled question stems at four different content-areas for students to deeply analyze texts in language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. Students will develop content-area literacy as they examine word choice, sentence structure, text structure, point of view, and author's purpose.
