Leveled Texts for Social Studies
These collections of social studies passages are written at four different reading levels to allow all students to read the same material and participate in class activities together. Each book explains lesson plan options, standards alignment, and techniques for differentiation.
Passages in the four history titles are arranged chronologically. Selections in American Biographies and in Symbols, Monuments, and Documents are arranged by topic. Each passage ends with a leveled writing prompt so the student can demonstrate comprehension. All materials are reproducible from the included CDs.
