Although my primary subject matter is science and social studies my students participate in Silent Sustained Reading in class at least three times a week. In fact, many of the concepts explored in social studies are guided through the use of a particular text. Also, my readers often spend lunch and recess periods in class reading. Literacy skills are critical for development across the academic spectrum. Young children, particularly those at risk for difficulty in reading later, benefit from the interconnectedness of reading, math, and science domains. These books are rich, and varied in themes and subject matter. My students will be able to extend their exploration of social studies and sciences concepts through fiction and non-fiction text.
