Strategies/Connecting Social Studies Book: Develops ELL academic language for social studies

Research-based strategies that build listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Product Overview:

Not a theory book but a toolbox you can use tomorrow to raise academic language. Strategies/Connecting Social Studies Book gathers research-based techniques that make social studies language clearer through listening, speaking, reading and writing. It shows how to shape tasks, prompt student talk and scaffold texts so English learners participate and explain thinking. Designed for teachers working K-12, the examples fit whole-class lessons, small groups and quick reteach moments. It's a printed, classroom-ready resource that cuts lesson planning guesswork and helps students produce stronger responses. Try a routine this week and listen to the change in student voice.

Key Features:

• Research-based strategies: Packaged as classroom routines, they translate research into moves you can try without extra prep.

• Flexible for K-12: Adaptable examples span kindergarten through twelfth grade for easy differentiation across levels.
