This four-part series supports elementary educators and instructional leaders in using social studies as a meaningful context for literacy instruction. Each session focuses on how students build the background knowledge, vocabulary, and disciplinary skills needed for reading comprehension and effective writing. Instead of switching between two subjects, the series shows how inquiry-based social studies can do both—through well-planned lessons, rich content, and purposeful tasks. Participants will explore concrete examples, planning strategies, and tools they can use right away.
