Decades Series: Reading Study Activities for Social & Cultural Studies Students

**Get ready to embark on a captivating journey through some of the most thrilling and memorable decades in history! **

Every reading in the series follows a structured three-stage process that progressively builds upon each other. Through this method, your students will develop a deeper understanding of the eras that defined several generations.

In Stage 1, students prepare for the informational text by matching ten key vocabulary words with their definitions, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the text.
In Stage 2, students dive into the informational text, reading it independently or with a partner, small group, or center.
In Stage 3, students are tested with six multiple-choice questions that assess their comprehension of the text.

This bundle contains:

8 informational texts (The Roaring Twenties, The Dirty Thirties, The Forties, The Fifties, The Sixties, The Seventies, The Eighties, The Nineties)
10 essential vocabulary words with definitions for each reading
6 multiple-choice comprehension questions complete with answer sheets for each reading
Answer strips for students to write their answers on (optional)

This resource is perfect for teachers looking for an engaging and effective teaching tool, or for individual learners looking to develop their comprehension skills.

To ensure that this resource can be used time and time again, we recommend that the text, assorted vocabulary matches, and comprehension question and answer sheets be laminated for durability. This will help to preserve the quality of the resources, making them a valuable long-term addition to your teaching toolkit.

All the very best!
