In Kindergarten through fourth grade, social studies content is embedded in the English Language Arts block. Embedding
Social Studies TEKS into English Language Arts in elementary school means integrating history, geography, civics, and culture into reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities. For example, students might read historical fiction, analyze primary sources, write biographies about historical figures, or discuss maps and timelines during literacy lessons. This approach helps meet standards in both subjects while building critical thinking, vocabulary, and real-world connections, making learning more engaging and meaningful.
