Breakthroughs in Social Studies : Developing Reading in the Content Area

Help students break through to concepts in content-area reading

• Content-area reading skills help students understand their textbooks
• Pre- and post-test work lets students focus on strengths and weaknesses
• Special exercises encourage analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and application

These are the tools you need for students to work through problems until they can master the concepts (and not just the skills) each subject area requires. More than just simple repetition, these books are designed to guide students to their own intellectual breakthroughs.
