Integrating Science and Social Studies into Literacy Instruction

Integrating Social Studies into Literacy Lessons:

7 ideas for embedding Social Studies into literacy routines:

Use social studies-related texts to teach non-fiction reading strategies during your reading block.
When teaching students about biographies, have kids research historical figures.
Use calendar, news, or sharing time to discuss the day in history.
During your time in the computer lab (or when students use classroom computers), have kids complete historical web quests.
Use read-alouds to supplement or even drive your social studies curriculum.
Leave two time-lines up in your classroom for students to add to throughout the year.
Set aside a few minutes a day for current events discussion.
