Our materials address the common core standards. Each workbook requires a close reading of the text. Following each small segment of reading, there are text-dependent questions. These questions range from basic recall to critical thinking; there are even contextual vocabulary-themed questions that not only improve students' vocabularies, but help prepare them for the ACT/SAT. These workbooks are truly cross-curricular, and utilize reading across the curriculum. They are popular among everyone, from those teaching special education students with reading comprehension difficulties, to those teaching AP-level high school students of American History, World History, and European History. They are suitable high school history students. We recommend aligning the workbooks with your current Social Studies content.
