US History Shorts Digital Binder 1
History Shortsare fun, bite-sized history lessons for
students reading below grade level. These engaging programs were
designed for students of all ages who need help learning the basic
concepts covered in U.S. history and world history classes. The low
reading level and age-appropriate illustrations make the short,
high-interest passages and activities appealing to struggling readers
and students with learning differences.
The Shorts
Each 210-page binder includes between 28 and 30 one-page stories, or
shorts, that focus on key historical concepts. Featured in 14-point font
for easier readability, the shorts can be used as introductory lessons
or taught in greater depth with additional resources. They also serve as
an overview for topics that teachers wish to cover quickly.
Activity Sheets
Following each short are four activity sheets and a quiz. Students
practice reading-comprehension skills and answer content-area recall
questions; interpret maps, charts, and graphs; research significant
historical people, places, and events; and express opinions through
writing. The activity sheets include multiple-choice, short-answer, and
extension questions as well as crossword puzzles. Each short also
includes visual activity which consists of a map, chart, or graph. For
each short, alone-page quiz assesses students understanding of the most
important information. Quizzes include questions written in standardized
test format. Answer keys are also provided.
Audio CDs(sold separately)
Two sets of audio CDs feature recordings of each of the shorts in the
corresponding binders. This audio component helps improve comprehension
for struggling learners and supports students with diverse learning
styles. Two CDs are included in each set for
Binder 1 and for
