YIKES!!!!  What happens when your state or the fed govt mandates a SS test, as they are likely doing in 5th grade in TX, and are already doing in 8th in TX....Intervention students will have no background on which to build....Also, I teach 5th grade LA/SS, and I find powerful reading strategies to integrate into SS, a high interest area for some of my striving readers....Just an observation...

"The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man.  Nothing else that he builds ever lasts.  Monuments fall; nations perish; civilizations crumble and die out;...But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on.  Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written,  still telling men's hearts of the hearts of men centuries dead."--Clarence Day
