In this session, we will explore ways to make every minute count! More instructional time devoted to social studies is correlated with greater reading growth from first through fifth grade. The students who benefit the most from additional social studies time are girls and those from lower-income and/or non-English-speaking homes. Let’s discuss possible solutions. Participants will understand published research and findings that increased instructional time in social studies is associated with improved reading ability and learn effective strategies for implementing disciplinary literacy in the classroom. 

This session is perfect for all elementary teachers!
