If you’ve read the book The Knowledge Gap, you will know that we need to do more to support students’ background knowledge which is key to students understanding any text. Let us help you make your classroom a content-rich classroom by embedding literacy instruction into social studies.

 

Research shows that how much readers understand about the text’s topic before they read it is a major factor in how much they understand during and after they read it. Therefore, it is beneficial to teach critical background knowledge before diving into a larger topical unit.

 
 

The package offers a complete package for Ancient Greece – Science of Reading. Start with vocabulary slides with a unique take. The first vocabulary word slide has four images representing the word. Then the students define the word based on the images. Next you show the true kid-friendly definition and image slide. Students are more likely to remember the vocabulary words using this technique.

 

The comprehension passages and questions come in electronic and printable formats, so you can use them however you prefer. If you choose to share electronically, the passages are set up with 45 slides to read on electronic devices, and 42 slides for review with fill-in-the-blank questions and answers (immediately after each question).

 

If printing is your preference, the PDF is 29 pages with fill-in-the-blank and/or short answers questions for every page of text. The topics covered are:

 

  • Location (geography)
  • Climate
  • City-States
  • Birthplace of Democracy
  • The Classical Age
