Literacy in History / Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects

The Common Core Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science & Technical Subjects http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/RH/introduction address the concepts and skills students need to successfully read and write in the social studies classroom. These standards guide students in understanding primary sources and other social studies texts through specific skills/strategies for reading and writing.  The skills support students' learning of the content and enhance teachers' instruction in the classroom.  National Geographic also has a great page developed to assist with making connections between geography and the English language Common Core.  You can find that page here:
