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.
