What is more meaningful to young students than their families, schools, and neighborhoods? Our precisely leveled Social Studies Rising Readers integrate literacy with Social Studies content instruction, using vibrant photos and high-interest, real-world contexts to support emergent and early readers as they develop sight word vocabulary, academic vocabulary, and comprehension skills. Each text builds on essential Social Studies concepts such as Self, Family, Friends, Community, Jobs, Needs and Wants, Geography, Rules, Government, and Citizenship.
