If you are looking for an interesting supplement to your history program, these reproducible workbooks will be a beneficial source. Correlated with National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies, each workbook also includes a National Standards Matrix. In addition, a timeline is provided, which gives important facts and information about the time period. Beginning with a one-page reading selection presenting facts and information about the topic being studied, the workbook then moves to a knowledge check. This will assess the student's understanding of the reading selection with matching, multiple choice, and critical thinking exercises. A map follow-up uses a map to answer various questions. "Explore" pages are high-interest learning activities that keep the students engaged. For instance, in the Medieval Times workbook, there are activities relating to cathedrals, castles, or even stained glass windows. Specifically designed to accommodate different learning styles, these workbooks offer alternative methods of instruction. For example, online resources are available for struggling readers, offering a modified version of the text. A glossary and answers are included in the back. The impressive amount of material covered coupled with the knowledge sheets and activities make these workbooks a valuable resource in your study of history. ~ Gina
