Designed for the third-grader, this newspaper is educational standards-based—each issue written and illustrated with social studies standards in mind! For most states, combine Democracy Studies Weekly with World Community Studies Weekly for 100% coverage of state standards! However, Democracy Studies Weekly covers 100% of social studies standards Virgina and 92% in Tennessee as a stand alone resource.
Each student’s weekly newspaper contains a standards-based social studies lesson, a current event that relates to the lesson being presented, and lots of fun and exciting articles, including biographical spotlights, insights into the history and character of democracy, puzzles and games, a comic strip, and much more!
Your subscription of 10 or more copies includes a teacher supplement for each weekly newspaper. Each teacher supplement contains discussion questions, answers to crossword puzzles and other activities, a weekly assessment tool, and more.
Democracy Studies Weekly is an ideal tool to help students practice skills in non-fiction reading and comprehension in preparation for state testing. Democracy Studies Weekly is also an ideal social studies teaching tool for homeschoolers!
