Are there any websites that will help teachers find books to support social studies instruction?
A. The National Council for Social Studies (NCSS) publishes a yearly list of “Notable Trade Books for Young People.” The books that appear in these annotated book lists are evaluated and selected by a Book Review Committee appointed by National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) in cooperation with the Children’s Book Council. The books are written primarily for children in grades K-8. They emphasize human relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences. They present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic, are easily readable and of high literary quality, and have a pleasing format that includes illustrations where appropriate.
