Literacy Connections - Elem Social Studies

NOTE:  To ensure you are receiving the latest updates, make sure to refresh each web page before you download documents.  How do I refresh a web page?

The Social Studies Literacy Connections were compiled by the FCPS Social Studies/Literacy Specialist and Social Studies Building Representatives. In addition, many FCPS teachers have provided input to the development of the list.

The books include Teacher resources, read-alouds, shared reading selections, selections for guided reading and independent reading. They have been arranged within the topics as found in the FCPS Curriculum Framework. This document is not meant to be a comprehensive list, but should be viewed as a beginning. As these lists are used, we will delete and add book titles within topics.
