At its best, social studies instruction, especially at the elementary level, prepares students to be active members of civic life-critical thinkers, advocates, and change makers. Using Literacy Strategies to Enhance Social Studies Education in Elementary Classrooms aims to showcase not only social studies instruction at its best, but also, through classroom examples, the kinds of planning and instruction that facilitate building and using their literacy skills and processes in the service of social studies learning and action. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, creating, and viewing are powerful tools to engage students in meaningful social studies. This book is written for elementary teacher educators and pre-service and in-service teachers to encourage and illustrate intentional integration of literacy skills for deeper and meaningful social studies instruction, particularly instruction that is rigorous and inquiry-driven. Each chapter of this book aligns with one or more of these basic literacy processes and includes examples of research-based pedagogy at two different elementary grade bands, concrete suggestions for instructional approaches for supporting students at varied levels of independence, and tools to support implementation.
