Teaching Literacy and Social Studies: An Integrated Approach for a Diverse and Changing World focuses on merging literacy development with social studies education. The book provides future educators with strategies to enhance students' literacy skills while simultaneously deepening their understanding of social studies content. Tools for effective, evidence-based literacy instruction are integrated throughout the text, underscoring the necessity of preparing students for a global society. Readers learn how to construct meaningful reading opportunities and foster a passion for lifelong reading through children's literature. The book emphasizes the importance of agency, choice, and voice in literacy instruction, recognizing these as critical factors for preparing students for real-world situations. The text also examines the relationship between public education, literacy instruction, and civic engagement, as well as exploring contemporary issues in literacy such as digital, global, and assessment literacies. Teaching Literacy and Social Studies is an ideal textbook for courses in education. It is particularly relevant for students pursuing teaching credentials in elementary education, as well as in-service teachers looking to bolster their strategies for promoting comprehensive literacy and engaging students in civic-minded discourse.
