What do you and your students love about Studies Weekly?
Taylor Z.: We love Studies Weekly because it brings social studies to life in a way that's easy, engaging, and accessible for young learners. The articles are written at an age-appropriate level, and they include many hands-on activities that allow us to connect with our learning. My students especially love enjoying the interactive online features, like the videos and the room decorating, that reinforce what we're reading. As a teacher, I appreciate how it's aligned to standard and how easy it can integrate into our weekly routine. So far, it has helped us have many meaningful discussions, it promotes critical thinking, and overall, it gives my students a strong foundation in our social studies topics.
Would you recommend Studies Weekly?
Taylor Z.: I would absolutely recommend it. Studies Weekly makes teaching social studies so much more manageable and meaningful. The content is aligned to standards and easy to plan and engaging for students. It blends print and digital resources seamlessly, which allows for flexibility in how you teach day to day. If you're looking for a resource that builds content knowledge and supports reading skills, Studies Weekly is a great fit for you.
What is your favorite feature of Studies Weekly?
Taylor Z.: The digital component is by far the most valuable feature for me. It brings the content to life with videos, pictures, read-aloud options, and interactive activities that reinforce the key concepts for learning. It also allows me to differentiate instruction easily because students can access it at their own pace, they can revisit lessons that they need, and they can engage with the content in a variety of different ways. Plus, the digital assessment tools make it simple to monitor progress and to guide my instruction.
