What educators are saying

I really enjoy the other Close readings that you offer, so when I needed a Government one I came straight to you. It was exactly what I needed, and the students did a good job with it.
This was an amazing resource full of useful activities to use in teaching my students the Constitution and branches of government.

Description

Civics and Government just got more fun and engaging! This bundle brings together three big ideas in Social Studies in a way that's easy to weave into your reading lessons. Students will dive into how the Constitution shapes our government, learn about the three branches, and explore voting and elections. They'll also get to understand checks and balances and lots more, all in a friendly, easy-to-understand format!
