World Studies: The United States and Canada

World Studies introduces middle grade students to a region and then focuses on specific countries in each region to create a context for understanding state and local standards. Using standards-based content and research-proven reading instruction, World Studies expands students' understanding of each world region through a focus on its major countries.

Considerate text design and narrative combine with enhanced reading strategies - such as Target Reading Skills and key terms defined in context - to make lessons accessible to students at all levels.
