Each unit includes an Inquiry Project where students research a compelling question and use evidence from the reading to write an argument.
The unit’s Social Studies Stories explore different perspectives, literature, primary sources, and biographies.
Tools like differentiated reading levels, text-to-speech, main ideas, and highlighting provide extra reading support. Students can build their vocabulary with checks for understanding and vocabulary cards.
