Ancient World History I love being able to assign texts for my students using Lexile levels. The graphics are interesting, helpful, and age-appropriate. My students enjoy reading the articles about ancient civilizations. The quiz with each article helps me to assess which concepts my students understand and where more review is needed. I also like the fact that I can reassign any quiz after we have explored the topic further.

Two Stars and a Wish I like the social studies for the 6th grade level. We read the middle reading level. The photos are well done and page layouts are arranged nicely with the right vocabulary for my 11-year-old. Well done. I did observe that the upper grade levels for the history/social studies becomes too much of name and date information. I wish you could show the date items in a historical time line that would capture the kids interest more. I realize you are trying to cover certain curriculum rules. Anyway I am sure you will take this in and do something clever.

Integrates well with fifth grade curriculum! Three lexile levels enables us to use articles for guided reading. Alignment to NGSS standards enables me to integrate literacy and science. The units on U.S. history and Native Americans are excellent for our social studies! I teach fifth grade.

Easy to teach, fun to explore Your content makes teaching and creating lesson plans really easy across age groups. It is content that is engaging and that presumes competence.

Not teacher friendly Not teacher friendly. No way to tell if students have completed reading unless they complete the quiz and then recording the quiz is cumbersome. Also, lexile levels don't go very high - so it limits the reading level for students who are at or above their reading.
