What do our customers say about us?

Director of Federal Programs and Curriculum, WV

Bilingual Director, TX

“Studies Weekly is a great resource for my Bilingual Department! My students love having both the English and Spanish versions to work out of. They are so fun and engaging. There are so many additional resources that are provided to support my teachers!”

Teacher, HI

“I loved how the program was user-friendly, and it contained a lot of great resources. I cannot wait to start teaching with this curriculum.”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“The delivery system of the content as opposed to a big boring text is great. And the colors and the pictures are vibrant, and they really stand out!”

K-12 Social Studies Coordinator, TX

“I was looking for a resource that would help elementary teachers teach social studies. It has definitely met my expectations in that it offers lessons, assessments, and strategies for engaging social studies instruction.”

Social Studies Teacher, MD

“I love that Studies Weekly is accessible to students. It is visually appealing and presents important information in a non-intimidating way.”

Literacy Coach, NJ

“We enjoy both the online and magazine teaching materials. Students find both easy to navigate and the articles are engaging and enhance our students’ vocabulary. Studies Weekly is continually revising their materials to keep current not only with the standards but with content that is relevant and developmentally appropriate. Thank you Studies Weekly! Keep up the great work!”

K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, TX

“As a dedicated educator, finding resources that truly align with state standards and make the job of my teachers easier can be a challenge. That’s why I’m thrilled to share my experience with Social Studies Weekly!

From the moment I saw the weekly articles, I was impressed by how seamlessly they integrate with state standards. Our curriculum is meticulously designed to meet all the required TEKs and Studies Weekly aligns with our learning goals perfectly! This means teachers can spend all of their energy on teaching and supporting their students.

Studies Weekly is incredibly teacher-friendly. Its user interface is intuitive, making lesson planning a breeze. The materials are engaging and well-organized, which helps keep students motivated and on track. Plus, the built-in assessment tools provide valuable insights that help teachers tailor their instruction to meet each student’s needs.”

5th Grade Teacher, TN

“It is nice not to have another textbook/workbook. Students can annotate the articles, write answers to the activities, and complete the crossword puzzle. There are a lot of good online resources, too.”

Lead District Coordinator, HI

“We did not have a formal Character Development program so we ordered materials that dealt with feelings and emotions. I was visiting a rural A+ site when I observed the Site Coordinator teaching a lesson from Studies Weekly Well-Being Program. I was impressed with the curriculum and decided to pursue it for the following school year.”

Director Of Curriculum and Instruction, K-8, Preschool Director, AL

“If you want a curriculum that feeds children information about the world around them in a way that is kid-friendly, Studies Weekly would be a curriculum to use, and it’s affordable. When it comes to the teachers, it is a curriculum they can pick up and use quickly without needing six hours of PD.”

1st Grade Teacher, PA

“We never had much of a social studies curriculum at our school. I had one set of big books (5 units) and very little resources to go along with it. Studies Weekly has changed my outlook on history (I never enjoyed teaching it before). It is simple to follow as a teacher and fun to teach!”

1st Grade Teacher, PA

“What is most valuable to me is the lesson plans. After teaching for 25 years, it is nice that someone else has put in the hard work! They are step-by-step and very easy to follow.”

5th Grade Teacher, NC

“The curriculum has helped us to have a more focused approach in social studies.”

Instructional Coach, FL

“Everything is technology-based now, so it is nice to have tangible materials.”

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“The content and the curriculum, that piece is very engaging. You could use it as the core curriculum. You could use it to supplement. It’s very kid-friendly and it’s very homeschool-friendly too. And so I would say, for someone who might not have a lot of background or knowledge in homeschooling, and this might be the first time, this would be a wonderful tool, because it lays it all out for you.”

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“[Studies Weekly] has multi-grade capability with it and it’s tangible, which homeschool families love. They love something to hold onto and they can read it together as a family.”

3rd Grade Teacher, NJ

“I love that the articles are short and concise — with so many attention issues, these help keep the students focused. We answer the questions in game format; a contestant can ask a friend for help when confused or unsure. My whole class loves earning coins.”

4th Grade Gifted Education Teacher, LA

“I’m already begging my district to repurchase it for next year! I would tell someone it’s a no-brainer. Everything you need is ready to go — including lessons, activities, tests, answer keys, teacher guides, and more! Another great thing is all of this is available in print AND online! Students find it engaging, and teachers find it easy to implement.”

Teacher, AL

“[Studies Weekly] provides a variety of methodologies and components to help teachers reach all different levels of learners. It enforces the pedagogy needed to make lessons manageable and meaningful.”

Assistant Superintendent, CA

“Studies Weekly has provided our teachers with an effective and easy way to teach their social studies and science standards to students in kindergarten through the sixth grade. The weekly curriculum has a variety of topics, digital support, and activities to use for quality student engagement. Our teachers love the primary sources too! They are able to engage their students in meaningful activities and discussions with a user-friendly approach. Studies Weekly has also provided our schools with information about the weeks that have content which is in conflict with our faith. Teachers can just use the online resources for those weeks with their students. Our teachers and their students love learning with Studies Weekly.”

5th Grade Teacher, TX

“Social Studies Weekly has allowed me to seamlessly integrate social studies into my reading and writing lessons! My “Students of Liberty” look forward to reading these weekly publications and sharing what they’ve learned. As a teacher, I appreciate how the units are organized and aligned to our curriculum. I highly recommend this resource!”

Coordinator for Social Studies, TX

“It’s particular to our kids and living here, and I like that I can be assured that I’m hitting all those main standards.”

6th Grade Teacher, GA

“I LOVE the depth and complexity of activities and prompts to offer to my gifted students. Often I provide them with an independent study based on those suggestions since they can read and understand the newspaper so quickly and easily.”

1st Grade Teacher, CA

“I really enjoyed the Studies Weekly curriculum. It was effective and engaging for our students. The students really understood the text as it was written. It also had adjustable reading levels for each text. The magazines were fun for the kids, too! This is wonderful as far as space goes because it doesn’t take up any room in their already packed desks. It makes it easy for the students to follow along, especially for the younger students who have a hard time finding page numbers in big books. The google classroom link makes it easy to assign for our distance learners. Also, it asks comprehension questions at the end of each online assignment so no copying or sending home textbooks is required. I really enjoyed this curriculum and found it would be a great addition for our younger students.”

Director of Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment, NH

“I love the newspaper-style presentation of the material for the students, with its eye-catching and engaging designs. It grabs the attention of readers of all ages immediately! In addition, the ease of access, use, and implementation is perfect for busy teachers who don’t have a lot of extra time. It’s an easy way to ensure students are getting the content and rigor needed in a meaningful, fun, engaging way!”

Reading Specialist and Intervention Coordinator K-12, WI

“The best thing about Studies Weekly is the flexibility of the materials and resources. We are able to have what we need to teach the standards, but teachers and teams can customize it to make it fit their needs.”

Curriculum Director, NE

“As long as I have any say, I will never purchase anything other than Studies Weekly to teach social studies to our K-5 students.”

Social Emotional Learning Practitioner, OH

“Studies Weekly is intentional about making Social Studies accessible and relatable, through its various tools and resources. There are a million ways to use it. The resources aren’t overwhelming, leaving space for incorporating other resources. I also appreciate that the resources underwent evaluation for cultural considerations, etc.”

Curriculum Coordinator, MS

“As a teacher, I always loved receiving those newspapers in the mail for me and for my students. It was a nice break from traditional resources, so as a result, my enthusiasm was contagious and motivated my students to learn. When I became an administrator, I shared this resource with my instructional coaches, and now they can’t wait for me to provide their funding allocations each year to keep the learning going!”

5th Grade Teacher, CA

“I had been using a different Social Studies curriculum before I discovered Studies Weekly and could see that the curriculum was not doing justice for my students’ learning of the subject. Then, I heard about Studies Weekly in Social Studies from my colleagues and was instantly intrigued. If the colorful newspapers on the students’ desks grabbed my attention, then I knew they would definitely grab my students’ attention.”

K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, MO

“The use of Studies Weekly in our school district has helped elevate the teaching of social studies in the elementary grades. Elementary teachers are expected to be knowledgeable in so many areas but are often less confident in their social studies expertise than their reading, writing, and math expertise. Studies Weekly provides content knowledge for teachers and students in an easy-to-use way.“

Social Emotional Learning Practitioner, OH

“I think students appreciate that they can ‘handle’ Studies Weekly – write on it, annotate it, complete word puzzles, and cut it when appropriate. I feel like standard social studies textbooks feel like the living room: you can look at them but not sit in them. Studies Weekly is the comfortable family room where you interact and learn with those you love.”

K-12 Social Studies Coordinator, TX

“I love Studies Weekly because it offers a robust curriculum for elementary social studies instruction.”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“The resources that [Studies Weekly] gives go above and beyond the daily routine. If the teachers are looking at the resources, they can find a wealth of different readings for the kids and writing opportunities.”

Director of K-12 Curriculum, TX

“I wholeheartedly recommend Studies Weekly to any district looking for a comprehensive and reliable Social Studies curriculum. Their commitment to education and customer support is unparalleled.”

4th Grade Teacher, NC

“We love the magazines and being able to utilize them for partner work. Students are able to dive deeper into a topic, depending on what they are learning. I love the detailed lesson plans that accompany the magazines.”

Teacher, FL

“With Studies Weekly, I always have what I need to teach my classes effectively. They have so many options and resources that are such a wonderful help in the classroom. They make learning fun, relatable, more hands-on for the students to keep growing year after year. The students get excited to learn from the user-friendly student edition online or with the print. They provide you with fun learning games that give the kiddos incentive to learn the material and do well with their schoolwork. The staff have helped me with any online issues I have had.”

2nd Grade Teacher, KY

“If you don’t have as much time in the class as I do, even if you just have 15 minutes, you still have the little newspaper. They can go through that, they can cut that up, and they can put it in a journal. You can still have a very successful lesson. If you want to draw it out for a week or so, then all the printables are online.”

PK-12 Director of Curriculum and Instruction, NJ

“Social Studies in the elementary classroom can be a big lift. Studies Weekly strikes just the right balance between a format that’s student-centered and easily implemented by teachers, but also rich in standards-aligned, curriculum-aligned content.”

Teacher, FL

“[Studies Weekly] pushes me to make learning more hands-on. It helps me stay prepared for class every day with minimal preparation.”

1st Grade Teacher, TN

“I like the papers that the students can complete at school, and they can take them home to read them later. I also like the videos in the online component.”

Teacher, FL

“I’ve had to search for extra resources with other books and curriculum. With Studies Weekly, I don’t have to.”

3rd Grade Teacher, TN

“Implementing the curriculum is super easy! The teacher manuals are easily understandable and can be taught with minimal prework. Newspapers can be organized easily and are set up in a user-friendly way!”

2nd Grade Teacher, MD

“I’ve been teaching for 26 years and I’ve never really had a social studies curriculum that works as well as this one does, and it is so nicely aligned with what we’re doing in reading and in science. That’s one of the things I love about it. It’s so accessible for all of the kids. I love the technology component. I love the materials that they’re using, and the kids really enjoy it.”

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“[Studies Weekly] has what you need. It’s got the color, it’s got it all mapped out for you. It’s got the planning for you on it, and then it’s just little tweaks here and there. It’s a great homeschool resource!”

Social Studies Facilitator, TX

“I also enjoy the resources, such as the interviews or the videos. They are so easy to include in a lesson plan, and a lot of those videos, you already have them in Spanish as well. So that’s another great feature that you guys provide.”

Teacher, AL

“My students have LOVED the online portion of the videos and newspaper! They always look forward to social studies because of the newspaper and its layout.”

Teacher, AZ

“The best part about Studies Weekly is having access to historical information written at a student’s reading level. Often times historians do not write in a way that preteens could grasp, I really like having a resource that is understandable and approachable for my students.”

Teacher, CA

“The weekly publications are a nice change of pace from a regular textbook for both the students and our teachers. We love that students are able to write and annotate directly on the text of the articles to support the teaching of critical reading skills.”

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“The content and the curriculum, that piece is very engaging. You could use it as the core curriculum. You could use it to supplement. It’s very kid-friendly and it’s very homeschool-friendly too. And so I would say, for someone who might not have a lot of background or knowledge in homeschooling, and this might be the first time, this would be a wonderful tool, because it lays it all out for you.”

Social Studies Teacher Development Specialist, TX

“‘Digging Deep into Informational Text with Social Studies is crucial!’ as an educator of 32 years, I stand by my quote. Working in the largest urban school district in the state of Texas, Studies Weekly provides the academic opportunities for students to obtain concise informational text from the classroom community to the global community right at their fingertips.”

4th Grade Teacher, OH

“I greatly appreciate, like, and use the teacher supplement. The supplement is diverse and differentiated. There are many suggestions and ideas to choose from that will work for my diverse and unique classes.”

2nd Grade Teacher, TN

“I do like the supplement worksheets a lot, and I am able to take grades for those. I feel like they allow for critical thinking without straying too far from the content in the magazine. Thank you for your time and for making me feel like my opinion matters.”

5th Grade Teacher, TN

“Thanks for creating a resource with print and digital options!”

4th Grade Teacher, UT

“I love that students are learning about our state in social studies in a new and fun way. They are able to read or listen to a newspaper containing the same kind of information that would be in a boring textbook. I love that there are comprehension questions, assessments, and weekly activities to help ensure students are reading the articles and learning.”

Teacher, KS

“The Health and Wellness Studies Weekly resource is beneficial for students as it helps them learn and recognize social-emotional learning within themselves and others. It includes supporting videos and activities that guide students in navigating their emotions and feelings while fostering an understanding of those around them. This resource also promotes teamwork and collaboration, helping students learn to work together as a classroom community.”

Senior Instructional Technology & Professional Development Facilitator, AR

“Studies Weekly has allowed our elementary teachers and students to have social studies and science resources with a blended platform. The online piece supports our 1:1 initiative, and their printed material option is perfect for hands-on materials that students benefit from.”

Curriculum Coordinator, MO

“Implementing Social Studies Weekly in our district has been a game-changer for our elementary curriculum. The newspaper-style format is engaging, captures students’ interests, and makes learning about history, geography, and civics feel fresh and relevant. The integration of primary sources and multimedia elements has improved our students’ readiness for higher-level social studies instruction in middle school. Social Studies Weekly was a wise investment for our district, providing a comprehensive, standards-aligned resource that educators and students enjoy using!”

Principal, TX

“This was a godsend when we employed a first-year teacher. It made planning easy, and gave the teacher time to form positive relationships with students, who now want to learn from their teacher.”

Literacy Coach, MD

“The part of Studies Weekly that we find the most valuable to our students is the tangible pages that they can hold, write on, and see the beautiful colorful images on the pages. The teachers and students are highly engaged in rigorous activities with this program.”

1st Grade Teacher, TN

“Studies Weekly makes planning and teaching simple!”

6th Grade Teacher, NC

“Buy it! Get the PTA to fund it if your district won’t.”

Superintendent of Schools, NY

“We were so impressed with the Social Studies curriculum that we also reviewed the Science Studies Weekly materials, which we also decided to incorporate into our elementary program.”

Social Studies Teacher, MD

“I love that it makes the material accessible for teachers. Many teachers are struggling under the weight of ‘too much.’ Studies Weekly breaks down the content and provides lesson plans that help teachers who are overwhelmed.”

Director of Curriculum, NY

“We have been impressed with Studies Weekly right from the first day. Our teachers were so excited when they began working with the Social Studies Weekly materials they immediately wanted to use Science Studies Weekly. As they began working with the resources, their response was, ‘This company has thought of everything!’ Teachers can easily integrate reading skills, as well as writing skills into their Social Studies lessons. In addition, the accessibility feature enables teachers to tailor their lessons to meet individual student needs. Not only are all pieces of the curriculum student-friendly and easy to use, but they are also teacher-user-friendly. It is an overall impressive product.”

3rd Grade Teacher, NJ

“[Studies Weekly] is student-friendly, has relevant topics, and you can use it alone or add to it. It’s aligned to the standards. It has lots of support & extension materials and opportunities to tie into real-world issues.”

5th Grade Teacher, NC

“The curriculum has helped us to make sure that our instruction is focused. Implementing it is easy, as you can follow the program that is provided.”

3rd Grade Teacher, KY

“I love the focus on inquiry and the use of compelling and supporting questions! This program pushes young learners to not only answer questions about social studies but ask them as well! It also encourages young citizens to take action in their communities. Used effectively, the social studies classroom becomes more than an environment to ‘sit and get’!”

Account Clerk, HI

“We chose to purchase Studies Weekly because we’ve noticed when our leaders within the program integrate the curriculum into their daily lesson plans the students are excited to participate and fully engaged with all the various activities provided with the booklets.”

Instructional Coach, FL

“[Studies Weekly] is easy to use, topics are relative to what is happening in our world today, and assessments and videos are provided.”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“[Studies Weekly’s] curriculum is great and the newspaper is a conversational piece, it really is!”

Instructional Coach, FL

“Get it! The students will love it, you will love it, and it incorporates itself well with the curriculum.”

1st Grade Teacher, PA

“Our new principal was a former teacher and used [Studies Weekly] in his class. He enjoyed it so much that we started it this year. The benefits to using Studies Weekly is that there are detailed lessons, activities, and a fun newspaper every week!”

Academic Coach, HI

“In the coming school year, we are excited to see students interact with a new format of text, as well as giving my teachers many tools to support their instruction. Built in videos, infographics, articles, etc will be great for our students to participate with.”

Teacher, FL

“The students get excited to learn from the user-friendly student edition online or with the print. They provide you with fun learning games that give the kiddos incentive to learn the material and do well with their schoolwork.”

2nd Grade Teacher, KY

“I love that I don’t have to write lesson plans! They are already there, and they are pretty. I don’t even have to copy them because it comes in the shrink wrap right out of the box. I just put it in a binder. If anyone comes by my class and wants to know what I’m teaching that week, I can just show them my binder.”

Coordinator of Social Studies, MD

“It’s amazing to me that a company exists that does something pragmatic. It’s not something we do in education often. I think we feel like our content is THE most important, and of course, ours is, but I think having all the adults come to the table and go like, ‘We only have so many minutes, and we can get it all in!’ It’s a powerful message to be sending.”

Instructional Supervisor, KY

“The K-2, for us, was something that, no matter if you are self-contained or if you are departmentalized in a school, I wanted to know if this is something easy to roll out. Am I going to have to put in and log 2 hours the night before to get ready for this lesson that I might only spend 30 minutes on the next day? We wanted an ease of access for our teachers. We wanted it to be student-friendly, which it is.”

Teacher, CA

“The Studies Weekly team has been excellent in the sales, technology support, communication, and delivery of an outstanding Social Studies Curriculum designed specifically for our California History Social Science Framework and content standards. The Studies Weekly experts value customer input and concerns, and they are ready to positively respond. Innovation and service continue to be a company priority.”

Instructional Supervisor, KY

“When I came into this position, we had funding through ESSER that allowed us to update resources in K-12 Science and Social Studies. I pulled in team leads, teacher leads, and some principals and we started looking at different resources available. I was searching the web and stumbled upon Studies Weekly. We had samples sent, and then we had a Spring District PLC where all teachers came together. I put together the different products, and had the rubric that we use to ensure that it was a high-quality resource for our state and that it would match what we needed to do in the classroom. I also invited some community members. Studies Weekly for K-2 was by far the most popular.”

Instructional Supervisor, KY

“[Explore Science] is fun for kids. Betsy mentioned this when she did her first training – that kids like this, they think they are reading the newspaper when they open these things, so the kids like that. It’s got labs, it’s got kits. That was a big selling point.”

4th Grade Teacher, OH

“Overall, I enjoy the primary source documents…these are the most important piece to teaching history!!!”

Social Studies Curriculum Manager, OH

“This resource is teacher-friendly because teacher feedback is constantly solicited and considered.”

Teacher, FL

“I love that in the 5th grade unit the definitions are given, this is a major time saver as I teach 6 different subjects.”

3rd Grade Teacher, NM

“I love that students will have their own consumables so they can highlight and annotate their thinking on their own personal copy. I also love the online portions that can engage with Google Classroom.”

1st Grade Teacher, MD

“I find the teachers’ guide and the soft consumable copies the most valuable. The teachers’ guide allows instructional planning by unit and topic. The consumable copies provide opportunities for independent and group collaborations.”

4th Grade Teacher, MD

“I like that the Studies Weekly Social Studies gives a lot of information to students on a level they can understand and digest. Studies Weekly Science does the same and gives us jumping off points to do further investigation into topics.”

Director of K-12 Curriculum, TX

“Our district has had an outstanding experience using Studies Weekly as our K-4 Social Studies curriculum. From the engaging content to the user-friendly design, Studies Weekly has consistently provided our students with a rich and meaningful educational experience.”

Educator, SC

“One of the things that I really like about the Studies Weekly elementary health and safety materials is how accessible they are for teachers and students. It is oftentimes very hard to find time to fit health ed into the day but with the way it is presented in Studies Weekly, it is easy to jump right in to a given week’s lesson or readings for a few minutes here and a few minutes there and still know our students are engaging with quality health and safety materials.”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“Studies Weekly got it right. Minimize the lift and the carry.”

3rd Grade Teacher, TN

“I wasn’t sure what to expect, but once I saw the curriculum and started teaching it, I was pleasantly surprised and excited! The curriculum teaches my standards well and does it in a way that students can understand and relate to.“

Supervisor of Social Studies, NJ

“Many of the (K-4) teachers were unhappy with the current social studies program. They found it to be cumbersome and difficult for the students to follow. Quite a few teachers used the trial version of Studies Weekly during COVID with a high degree of success, so we piloted it for the rest of the 2021-2022 school year. As that school year neared its end, we took it to a vote, and the results were near unanimous to make the switch to Studies weekly.”

1st Grade Teacher, KY

“This is my 24th year teaching and this is the best science program I’ve ever used before. You can do so many hands-on things with it. The terminology is awesome for kids. It’s easy for teachers. You can follow along, you can put more ideas out and it turns into a much longer lesson because you see the kids being so much more engaged. They’re taking all of these hands-on materials and they’re relating to other things.”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“For the time that we devote in elementary, it’s a really good use of time. The writing is just right, the level of writing and the level of reading is correct for that. It’s age appropriate, and grade appropriate.”

1st Grade Teacher, PA

“For the past many years we haven’t had a great social studies curriculum, but this year we started with Studies Weekly and I absolutely love it. It’s amazing, and even I’m learning a lot. So, thank you so much for everything!”

Curriculum Coordinator, HI

“I would tell educators to try this version of learning through a newspaper and how it can connect to various subjects and project ideas.”

Teacher, AL

“Studies Weekly breaks down the information into smaller chunks. It is very easy to follow the lessons.”

Instructional Coach, FL

“It is easy to use and does not require much time to sit and plan for lessons. Everything is right there for you.”

Vice Principal, CT

“Studies Weekly has provided our students with content that is meaningful and easy to understand. The provided resources are attention-grabbing and the technology component provides another layer of teaching opportunity. Studies Weekly has been a great addition to our daily curriculum!”

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“It’s a great supplemental tool if you have a curriculum already in mind that you feel is your go-to, but you just, every once in a while you need something different and new, Studies Weekly would be perfect.”

Instructional Supervisor, KY

“Before this year, if I had a teacher who wanted to do a science experiment or science lab with kids, they were out at Walmart the night before at like 10:30 pm trying to assemble all the stuff that they needed. ‘I saw this there or I saw this off of Google,’ ‘I can do this lab,’ or ‘It fits with what I’m doing in the reading class,’ etc. But the kits are together now, and that’s the biggest thing for them.”

Homeschool Parent, CA

“It provides the resources and the substance that a parent without an educational background. It’s a bucket full of resources.”

District Lead Teacher for Social Studies, LA

“We implemented Studies Weekly district-wide for the first time at the end of 2019. We have had an overwhelmingly positive reaction from our teachers. First, Studies Weekly provides a solid content base for our students to use in order to complete rigorous activities in the LA Social Studies Scope and Sequence. Second, the consumable copy is a concept that the students enjoy. The visuals are great and the information is on grade-level and easy for students to comprehend.”

Assistant Superintendent, CA

“Studies Weekly has provided our teachers with an effective and easy way to teach their social studies and science standards to students in kindergarten through the sixth grade. The weekly curriculum has a variety of topics, digital support, and activities to use for quality student engagement. Our teachers love the primary sources too! They are able to engage their students in meaningful activities and discussions with a user friendly approach. Studies Weekly has also provided our schools with information about the weeks that have content which is in conflict with our faith. Teachers can just use the online resources for those weeks with their students. Our teachers and their students love learning with Studies Weekly.”

District Supervisor of Primary Schools, LA

“Studies Weekly provides primary source documents and a connection to reading in the content areas so that students can apply early literacy skills while increasing Social Studies content knowledge.”

2nd Grade Teacher, AL

“Studies Weekly is very Teacher and Student friendly. Is engaging for the students and simple for the teachers to use. I enjoy that assessments are built-in and can be automatically graded.”

K-2 Curriculum Facilitator, LA

“Studies Weekly instructional design is highly motivating and engaging, which supports our scholars with retention of the information presented.”

Teacher, AL

“I truly LOVE the resource! I am glad to see the changes that took place this year. Keep up the good work!”

1st Grade Teacher, TX

“If I were to take the Texas Studies Weekly out of my curriculum, I would be very very lost.

2nd Grade Teacher, OH

“I do like the supplement worksheets a lot and I am able to take grades for those. I feel like they allow for critical thinking without straying too far from the content in the magazine. Thank you for your time and for making me feel like my opinion matters.”

Teacher, MN

“One of my favorite things about Studies Weekly is the lesson plans. Whether I am teaching social studies or science, it makes things so simple. Especially when I need to leave something for a sub.”

Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Instruction, NY

“As a district-level leader, I have found working with Studies Weekly to be a positive customer service experience. The company has solicited feedback over the years to ensure the weekly publications are aligned with state standards and implemented revisions to reflect culturally relevant content and visuals.”

Early Childhood & Lower School Counselor, OH

“The onboarding process was easy and quick. Support was available at all times.”

Instructional Materials Coordinator, TX

“My personal favorite feature is the astonishing delivery appearance upon arrival of Studies Weekly pallets! Our order shipped quickly, with zero problems. The pallets arrived individually wrapped and labeled by campus. The entire order was correct and BEAUTIFUL! The shipments from this company are so very detail-oriented, and I could not be more appreciative.”

K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, MO

“The customer service and support we have gotten is top notch. Questions, comments, and suggestions are truly listened to and used by the company on the product they are putting out. They truly want to know ways that teachers believe the product can be improved upon so that students walk away with the best experience possible.”

Director Of Curriculum and Instruction, K-8, Preschool Director, AL

“I feel that if I need something, I know exactly who to call, and I know the turnaround time is going to be quick, and I’ll get what I need.”

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“Chris has been my contact person since the beginning and we just hit it off really well, which is always nice. I don’t view vendors as a third party. I view it as a partnership and a relationship to set my kids up for success.”

Director Of Curriculum and Instruction, K-8, Preschool Director, AL

“I feel the employees at Studies Weekly who I’ve worked with, especially Kirby, are very accessible, and I think that’s huge! They have a ‘What can I do to serve you?’ attitude. I felt that in my first meeting, and it’s been that way ever since. If I call about something or have a question or concern, I feel the turnaround is very quick, and not only that, sometimes it’s more than what I asked for.”

Teacher, CA

“The Studies Weekly team has been excellent in the sales, technical support, communication, and delivery of an outstanding Social Studies Curriculum designed specifically for our California History Social Science Framework and content standards. The Studies Weekly experts value customer input and concerns, and they are ready to positively respond. Innovation and service continue to be a company priority.”

Curriculum Supervisor, TX

“Debbie Singson does an excellent job of taking care of my district’s needs. She needs a pay raise!”

Teacher, TX

“Keep doing what you are doing! Debbie Singson and her team are great!”

6th Grade Social Studies Teacher, ME

“First and foremost, I would say that the most valuable aspect of Studies Weekly is the immediacy of support the platform provides. The organization has been quick to respond to questions, requests for services, and more. Our teachers have found the support to be both timely and professional.”

Social Emotional Learning Practitioner, OH

“Studies Weekly operates with world-class customer service.”

Core Curriculum Specialist, TX

“The customer service our reps provide us is phenomenal! Even though we are a ‘small-ish’ district, we are treated with respect and as if we were ordering for the world! They are always quick to get us quotes as needed and to respond to our questions insanely fast. The way the items are packed and shipped makes for easy dispersal to classrooms on our end. We are HUGE fans of Studies Weekly and highly recommend it.”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“You’ve all been very receptive to anything we’ve asked for, Danny’s been great at getting back to me in a really timely fashion, and it’s never a ‘No.’ It’s ‘Let’s see what we can do,’ and if it’s not possible, ‘How can we tweak it so that it is usable?’ It’s been really great.”

Social Studies Coordinator, NC

“I cannot possibly communicate how much working with all of you has meant to me. You showed such appreciation for my work and you treated me so kindly and professionally. I am forever grateful.

STEM Teacher, 5th Grade Social Studies & Science, PA

“Studies Weekly customer support is the best I have worked with in many years! They are extremely responsive to all inquiries.

Each training we have received targeted exactly what teachers need to get started and enhance their social studies content. Studies Weekly even provides recorded, step-by-step professional development for every aspect of the program. Our district is excited to partner with Studies Weekly now and in the future!”

“This product not only enriches our teaching but also fosters a positive learning environment for our students, thanks to its engaging materials and outstanding customer service.”

Teacher, TX

“Oh my goodness! If others were as kind and helpful as your support staff the world would be a much better place. I do a lot more by myself now and it seems every year there’s some kind of jam up or drama happening around me. Not concerning you but from the job itself. Your staff has been so patient with me and sometimes explained things over again so I could understand and have helped me with “everything” I’ve needed, that means so much. Even when they probably wanted to pull their hair out or even mine they continued with great courteousness and respect and for sure with knowledge!!!! Anytime we had any kind of issues Studies Weekly has solved it, immediately! You are all Great!!! Thank You!!!!”

K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, MO

“How I wish I had a relationship with my other vendors like I do with my Studies Weekly representative and support personnel. They are literally THE BEST, which is why I have recommended that other districts try the product. I know they will be as happy with their Studies Weekly experience as we are.”

Instructional Supervisor, KY

“Studies Weekly doesn’t try and hide the fact that they are trying to grow, they are trying to build, and they are trying to do better. We are guinea pigs in some of these cases. [They ask] ‘What would help you guys? What would make this a better product? What can we do to be better for your classrooms or your district level?’ [Studies Weekly] is always wanting to try and do better.”

Curriculum Director, CA

“It has been an amazing experience to work with our Studies Weekly team throughout these past few years. Due to the great communication, logistics, and excellent packaging and labeling of all materials, the turnaround time for Twin Rivers Staff to process this has decreased every year and has made this a great experience. Thank you very much!”

Social Studies Facilitator, TX

“Working with Studies Weekly has been an absolute pleasure. Their commitment to excellent service is unmatched. Whenever I’ve needed assistance, they’ve been ready and eager to help, and their response time consistently surprised me — in the best possible way. What truly sets them apart is their dedication to nurturing partnerships. They go above and beyond by regularly checking in and sharing crucial updates, fostering a sense of collaboration and support that’s invaluable. Overall, my experience with Studies Weekly has been exceptional. They’ve not only provided top-notch service but also built a relationship founded on trust, support, and a shared passion for education.”

PK-12 Principal, KS

“We use Studies Weekly in our Reading Lab. Our focus is teaching reading strategies, but we apply them to the social studies material provided through your newspapers. We are able to integrate the social studies content that the students need to learn while also intentionally teaching and practicing English Language Arts skills.”

Curriculum Coordinator, HI

“Studies Weekly has definitely been a game changer for our inclusion classrooms and with our EL students. Teachers have an easier time addressing student needs when they are trying to deliver the content. It also helps our students use their strategies of reading with these news articles.”

Curriculum Coordinator, HI

“The curriculum has definitely exceeded our expectations! We have seen such growth in our non-fictional text comprehension, and we contribute some of our gains to using Studies Weekly with all students!”

Director Of Curriculum and Instruction, K-8, Preschool Director, AL

“The comprehension piece in Studies Weekly – when students answer questions about what they read – is huge! Another part of that is being able to enhance comprehension and relate it to what they are reading to real life.” 

Coordinator for Social Studies, TX

“Studies Weekly in Spanish is an excellent resource to engage and support our EL students!”

2nd Grade Teacher, WV

“I use the curriculum to expand students’ reading comprehension and annotating practice.”

Homeschool Parent, CA

“I do feel like you can get a lot of blended cross-curricular things with the Studies Weekly. So, if my kid wasn’t really into English that day, we could tie English into Social Studies!”

Director of Curriculum and Teacher Development, AL

“With the reading component, even our Reading and ELA teachers can look into Studies Weekly and use the content, which is informational text. They are still reading, and it is very good information for our teachers and students.”

4th Grade Teacher, FL

“I have been teaching with Studies Weekly for many years. The curriculum is great for teaching nonfiction text and strengthening how to find answers to specific questions in nonfiction text.”

3rd Grade Teacher, TN

“I love the activities on the last page of the newspaper. These activities are great for review of the week, but also provide me with different options for taking grades. The activities allow for discussion, writing, analyzing, and problem solving. These are all things students need to practice and Studies Weekly gives many options here!”

Coordinator of Social Studies, MD

“We are aware that there are only so many minutes in the day, and we are never going to win the war between ELA and math. I’m done trying. But to see where [Studies Weekly] can fit, match, and emphasize – particularly in those younger grades – I think is the best we can hope for. Until we really appreciate social studies and realize it can be the whole lesson!”

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“[Studies Weekly] provides engaging nonfiction texts for students. And it’s a great resource for the teachers who need those supplemental things.” 

Director of Bilingual Education, FL

“Studies Weekly is a fabulous resource used by all our One-Way Dual language teachers. The articles and books are used in our Interdisciplinary thematic biliteracy Units of instruction. The ability to find Spanish and English literature for all diverse students is an added bonus that Studies Weekly provides to all our staff. We give Studies Weekly an A+.”

Teacher, CA

“Studies Weekly allows my students to have access to grade level social studies and geography, and it combines language arts, reading, and writing.”

K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, MO

“The integration of our state ELA and social studies standards makes efficient use of classroom time as students utilize the unique newspaper style resource for practicing non-fiction reading and comprehension strategies. Having both the online and paper resources allows teachers to vary their instruction, getting hands-on with marking texts or doing cutting and sorting activities with the paper, or pushing out quizzes and comprehension checks online.”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“We really have to teach them how to write concisely, technically, and accurately using the evidence. So having those elements and components in the Studies Weekly curriculum really does drive us to use it, because you are really working towards success for the kids.”

Coordinator of Testing and Materials, TX

“We are especially excited to see Studies Weekly expanding into 6th Grade Social Studies and have jumped to add that to our inventory.”

4th Grade Teacher, OH

“The team at Studies Weekly has done an excellent job researching and integrating facts, details, and stories about Ohio with the major strands in social studies. The students enjoy completing the projects that help extend their learning. The online component provides students a variety of ways to experience the text. This is especially helpful because it allows those who are not reading at grade level to experience the same text and content as their peers.”

Curriculum Coordinator, HI

“The program supports academic vocabulary development for all students, and the best part about it is that all students gain access to the content.”

Coordinator of Testing and Materials, TX

“We love the print materials, especially for the younger grades where students need to learn basic skills with manipulating print text. Studies Weekly materials are available in small enough volumes where students are not overwhelmed with the size of the materials.”

Charter School, NJ

“The newspapers help to integrate ELA skills within social studies to build stronger readers.”

3rd Grade Teacher, NJ

“It’s a great vocabulary builder, too! And I like that each student can have a paper copy of the magazine and use it to answer the weekly questions.”

Teacher, SC

“Elementary teachers have to skillfully use time and integrate subjects. Studies Weekly fits perfectly into my daily ELA small group rotation and can be used independently, due to its features.”

2nd Grade Teacher, MD

“If I give [students] a Quick Write from Studies Weekly they are on it! They’re excited about it. They will write more for me. They add pictures, and they label the pictures. It’s that buy in. Everything is so engaging, they feel like, ‘Okay, I can do this. I can handle this. It’s not a long book and I can do this,’ and that’s huge.”

Teacher, CA

“The weekly publications are a nice change of pace from a regular textbook for both the students and our teachers. We love that students are able to write and annotate directly on the text of the articles to support the teaching of critical reading skills. Their balanced literacy approach makes it so simple to integrate many of the ELA standards through informational text to maximize instructional time and student learning. The online platform offers text to speech, additional resources that don’t take up our cupboard space, engaging videos and interviews, and so much more. I personally love that Studies Weekly’s staff is open to feedback and consistently works to add new features that make the online experience even better and easier to use!”

Elementary Principal, NY

“Studies Weekly continues to be a wonderful resource for our 4th grade social studies curriculum. Our teachers love the newspapers and the wide variety of activities that are found in each one. Teachers love the online access and utilize this on a weekly basis as they cover the social studies topics with their students.”

4th Grade Teacher, NC

“Students are engaged and want to complete the work because it comes in magazine form. Students also enjoy the online component and how it reads the articles to them.”

Teacher, MN

“The online videos, especially the interviews, are amazing! Even if we only have a few minutes, I know I can show some sort of video to make our social studies time impactful that day.”

5th Grade Teacher, TN

“Because we only have 20-30 minutes to do SS each day, I use the article read-aloud option frequently to save time and cover more material in my SS block.”

Teacher, FL

“The lesson plans make teaching a breeze. The videos that are linked make planning so much easier and shorter. I LOVE having the extra review worksheets that I don’t have to go searching for. They have extra projects that make learning more fun and dynamic. I love everything about the Studies Weekly website in general!”

Teacher, AL

“I find the technological components of the program to be valuable. Teachers are able to readily find lessons and implement them by using the user-friendly program.”

6th Grade Teacher, NC

“I value the printed magazines the most. My students love being able to hold the magazine as they are reading. It is very easy, and we have been using it for a very long time.”

Director of Curriculum and Teacher Development, AL

“Digital learning [with Studies Weekly Online] is important because we know our students are 21st-century learners. We’ve got to get them ready for jobs and college life. That’s what it’s all about.”

Social Studies Facilitator, TX

“I’m also a fan of the Studies Weekly Online platform. That’s one of the really cool services you guys provide — especially for our diverse students. We have emergent bilinguals that need those language accommodations, and so do our dyslexic students, special ed., etc.”

Assistant Superintendent, TX

“One feature that we love is the online component where they can read aloud the articles in the newspapers. That’s been huge.”

4th Grade Teacher, CA

“The students and I have really enjoyed the Studies Weekly.  The information is much more complete and interesting than the old SS program.  The students like the short reading passages, earning coins for their answers, and watching the video clips that explain vocabulary and concepts.  The newspaper version is nice and colorful, although the computer version with the questions for each section and the ability to highlight key concepts was great.”

4th Grade Teacher, CA

“I like Studies Weekly. The lessons are engaging with much richer content than the prior curriculum.

-Great combination of reading, videos, and hands-on materials.

-Highly motivating coins reward system for students built into the program.

-Platform is very user-friendly and simple to find assignments and grades.”

Supervisor of Student Learning, LA

“In our district, we appreciate how Studies Weekly has provided us with developmentally appropriate social studies source documents for our K-2 students.”

STEM Teacher, 5th Grade Social Studies & Science, PA

“Studies Weekly is the program teachers have been looking for to efficiently plan and engage students! The digital and paper resources give teachers the freedom to create activities for in-person and remote instruction. Our teachers love the flexibility of the unit structures. Weekly planning involves numerous choices for the presentation of materials through various modalities ready to support the needs of every student. The program includes graphic organizers, projects, and videos to support a teacher’s instructional planning. The assessment features give teachers the ability to run reports to see students working with their content. Formative assessments give our planning the direction for the next steps. Studies Weekly makes it simple to run a report and get a pulse on each student’s learning. The integration with Google Classroom allows our teachers to communicate with students for assignments and feedback.”

6th Grade Social Studies Teacher, ME

“The online component adds a much more concrete exposure to the actuality of historical meaning and significance. We are very glad to be using the resource, and look forward to continued benefits from usage.”

Teacher, CA

“The online resources offer short videos and questions that often expand my students’ depth of knowledge. I have used both the social studies newspapers and the science newspapers over the years and love them both.”

Teacher, FL

“I love that the Studies Weekly program offers both print and online options. The newspapers are engaging, and the students enjoy reading them. Follow-up activities are fun and you can branch out so that students do their own research for further understanding. This is a great way to make sure state standards are covered throughout the year.”

2nd Grade Teacher, KY

“From time to time, I will assign something on [Studies Weekly Online], which I think is really cool, especially for nontraditional learning like we had to do during COVID. If we are out for snow days, I can assign a lesson on the online platform. They already know how to get on that.”

Administrator, TX

“I love the updated pedagogy resources and interactive online components of the curriculum.”

Instructional Supervisor, NJ

“Studies Weekly has served our social studies curriculum in positive ways. The online component allows for flexibility with our one-to-one initiative. As a result, students are able to enjoy the offerings 24/7.”

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“One of the really engaging activities is collecting coins. They love collecting coins for answering questions, which makes them feel good about their reading. Those assignments are awesome.”

5th Grade Teacher, TN

“My favorite feature is the online read-aloud function! I co-teach, which means I have many students with a reading disability, and this function helps them as well as my audio learners.”

4th Grade Teacher, NC

“[Studies Weekly] is very structured and keeps the students engaged. As a teacher, it is easy for me to follow along with. The materials are easily available, and the preparation is quick.”

4th Grade Teacher, NC

“I am a fourth grade teacher and I teach social studies. I have been using Studies Weekly and I absolutely love it, and my students do too! It keeps everyone so engaged and my students have learned so well with this program. There are so many neat features on the website that I love to explore. I also appreciate it coming with the newspapers that my students are eager to learn from every day!”

Teacher, AL

“Studies Weekly is very straightforward. All of the resources you need are online and any handouts are included in the printed copy of the lesson plans. It is very easy to look ahead and read ahead to get everything set to hand to students.”

2nd Grade Teacher, KY

“From time to time, I will assign something on [Studies Weekly Online] which I think is really cool, especially for nontraditional learning like we had to do during COVID. If we are out for snow days, I can assign a lesson on the online platform. They already know how to get on that.”

1st Grade Teacher, CA

“First of all, I love using Studies Weekly with my class.  Here are some of the reasons why:

*Students friendly and engaging

*Easy to access for students on Clever (especially for Kids learning from home) *Easy to assign to students

*Videos are wonderful, and kids love listening to the stories being read to them *Students love to collect “coins”

*No printing/copies necessary (all online)-teachers can make copies if they want to.”

4th Grade Teacher, CA

“I like Studies Weekly.

-The lessons are engaging with much richer content than the prior curriculum.

-Great combination of reading, videos, and hands-on materials.

-A highly motivating coins reward system for students built into the program.

-The Platform is very user-friendly and simple to find assignments and grades.”

Social Studies Curriculum Specialist, K-12, TX

“Our district uses not only the print materials from Studies Weekly, but we also engage our students with the variety of targeted digital materials that Studies Weekly provides for holidays and events such as Veteran’s Day and Presidential elections.”

5th Grade Teacher, MA

“I love the format because students learn how to identify and utilize text features to get the most out of the articles. These skills transfer to other learning experiences. I also value the online component. It is very user-friendly and helpful. In addition, the resources, such as quizzes and crosswords, are excellent.”

5th Grade Teacher, SC

“The most valuable feature of Studies Weekly is the weekly quizzes! Teaching Social Studies can be challenging because there is so little time but so much content. Studies Weekly does an amazing job of providing engaging content as well as rigorous assessments, making a teacher’s job just a little bit easier.”

Social Studies Teacher, MO

“I truly enjoy the videos that come with the articles. I have a lot of students that are visual learners and it helps them to comprehend the information. I do enjoy the other parts that are included, like the crossword, Misspilled, etc., that really focus on that specific week and the information that we really want them to remember.”

Coordinator of Testing and Materials, TX

“The digital materials have been extremely easy to integrate into our Learning Systems. From rostering to teacher/student access, there have been few to no issues.”

Social Emotional Learning Practitioner, OH

“As a Curriculum Coordinator, I came to love the ideas presented on the website, and all of the interactive opportunities.”

Teacher, CO

“In my opinion, it is the best learning website.”

Elementary Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, OH

“Teachers have enjoyed the updated lesson plans for each article. It allows teachers to be more intentional in the lesson-planning process. I also love all of the additional resources that are available to teachers on the platform.”

Teacher, NC

“I love that [Studies Weekly] has the option to read aloud. If students need to work independently, those struggling readers are still able to participate and get their work done.”

Social Studies Facilitator, TX

“A very cool feature that we started using was training on the customized content [in Studies Weekly Online]. It’s mimicking our STAAR test items. So we can give the students fill-in or open-response questions. That’s something that teachers enjoy.”

Supervisor of Social Studies, NJ

“The teachers love the videos that accompany the product, and many tell me that they like that each unit is one week in length rather than a long, tedious unit. As education becomes more digital, our students like to hold a newspaper when they learn about social studies. Teachers will let you know when something isn’t working for them, and this does not happen when it comes to Studies Weekly.”

2nd Grade Teacher, MD

“We’re trying to get the kids more comfortable with technology. Because everything is so user-friendly the kids feel very comfortable with it. They don’t feel overwhelmed by it or scared of it.”

Teacher, SC

“Students put on headphones and are engaged. When we come back together as a group, they easily connect their lessons to what we are discussing.”

Student Services Technician, CA

“As a staff member I get a lot of feedback from parents, and they are always positive. Parents and students both seem to really enjoy online content in each subject. I think Studies Weekly is a wonderful addition to our curriculum choices.”

Homeschool Parent, CA

“Studies Weekly has been an engaging tool for our students. It’s really cool as a reading tool as well. And you could technically use it for cross-grades and cross-multiple. So, even though second grade resources might be at a different level, I could use it with my fourth grader at a different year and just build off of what I want to.”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“When we did principal training two weeks ago, they were blown away by the newspapers. When we displayed the digital version, the colors are so embracing, they look wonderful on the screen. A lot of times, I’ll go into the classroom, and they’ll just have one of the pages of the children’s edition up, which is cool.”

Literacy and Social Science Curriculum Coordinator, IL

“The supplemental resources are great, such as the additional worksheets and graphic organizers. The platform is also user-friendly.”

5th Grade Teacher, TN

“We love the videos, it really helps them to ‘see’ history and understand it better.”

Elementary School Teacher, KS

“I love the online student version if I have to be gone or if someone was absent, they can easily catch up with us.”

Teacher, SC

“It took me about 10 minutes to learn to navigate the [Studies Weekly Online] dashboard and get a feel for the features. When I couldn’t figure out something on my own, I emailed my representative and had a virtual training the same day!”

Instructional Coach, FL

“It’s extremely easy and user-friendly to implement.”

6th Grade Teacher, NC

“The most valuable aspect is the quizzes to check for student understanding!”

Teacher, AL

“I like that the articles are read aloud. I teach this three times a day, and being able to listen to parts of the article, and then pause them to further explain helps me as a teacher. Also, when students are given an independent assignment to reread an article, the students who struggle reading can listen to it as well. I like the videos and images that are included with many of the articles.”

Curriculum Supervisor, PA

“As part of our curriculum review process, our District was looking for a new Social Studies resource that provided both online and hands-on materials. Specifically, in grade 4, we needed to ensure that Pennsylvania content was available. Studies Weekly provided the resources we were looking for and had the Pennsylvania content.

The most appealing feature is that students have the stories in newspaper format, which they prefer over a textbook. They can interact with it online or on paper. The online features allow students to highlight, underline, and circle which reinforces the information taught in class. In addition, teachers like the online quizzes and incentives for students.

We are in year one of our adoption and some technical questions have come up. Studies Weekly has supported and responded in a timely manner to address our needs. All in all, we have been pleased with the resource and support thus far.”

Teacher, AL

“Studies Weekly provides me with an effective way to teach social studies. I use it to enhance my lessons and incorporate technology.”

Director of Curriculum and Teacher Development, AL

“It’s been an interesting year for us here in our district. Our accreditation process has helped us to focus in a lot more on things that we have access to, and I’m looking forward to the great things that come out of this for years to come with our digital learning and using Studies Weekly to help meet that.”

5th Grade Teacher, MS

“Studies Weekly is aligned to standards and provides great teaching resources. The newspaper and online components are both very kid-friendly and engaging. Students gain so much through the content, vocabulary, nonfiction text features, and more. Being in a position with limited social studies resources, it is such a game-changer to have Studies Weekly! We truly love using this resource.”

Superintendent of Schools, NY

“It has been a pleasure to work with Studies Weekly on several of our recent curriculum alignment projects. Our teachers loved the fact that the Social Studies materials are aligned to State Standards, are user-friendly, and thoroughly engaging for students.”

3rd Grade Teacher, TN

“Studies Weekly gave me a resource for teaching standards that I wasn’t sure how to tackle. It provides appropriate texts that are engaging and rigorous. It provides students opportunities to apply what they are learning in ELA class to texts in Social Studies.“

Academic Coach and Teacher, HI

“We ordered [Studies Weekly] because it is a high engagement resource for implementing the new QFT strategy around inquiry based learning”

Social Studies Facilitator, TX

“You have your weekly assessments in English and in Spanish that mimic the reading STARR 2.0 question types. The interviews and videos are so easy to include in a lesson plan and a lot of those videos are in Spanish as well.”

Instructional Supervisor, KY

”We wanted to find a product that we could fit in with our standards – that was teaching the terminology and vocabulary that we’re looking for, especially in science. Our state is phenomenon-driven for science and that’s what Studies Weekly is.”

Instructional Supervisor, NJ

“For those students who prefer a more print option, the magazines are vivid, engaging, and align to our standards in social studies, especially covering New Jersey history.”

Teacher, AL

“Studies Weekly has helped my instruction by giving me a curriculum that follows the Alabama Course of Study: Social Studies. It is a thorough and updated sequence of events all about how Alabama came to be, as well as important current events.”

Literacy Coach, NJ

“We have been using Studies Weekly for 3 years in grades K-5 with great success! Studies Weekly is aligned to the NJ Student Learning Standards and provides our students with knowledge of our world and its rich history.”

Principal, CO

“I loved how easy it was when I used it in the past. I remembered it covered our standards well, so when it came time for us to choose a new curriculum I knew Studies Weekly would be the perfect fit for our school.”

Director of Curriculum and Instruction, MO

“Our teachers don’t have to hunt around for social studies materials that match their standards. We couldn’t find a text to address our state’s E.S. standards that was up-to-date. Studies Weekly was able to provide that for us!”

Elementary Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, OH

“I love how engaging the publications are and that they meet Ohio’s social studies standards. Students enjoy the online platform, but they love the opportunity to navigate the paper copies as well.”

Core Curriculum Specialist, TX

“Studies Weekly is an outstanding resource that our teachers beg to be included in our academic budgets each year. They love the way it builds the content of social studies with reading skills together, and having print and digital resources are very beneficial. We are also very grateful that Studies Weekly stayed up to date as the SS TEKS have shifted.”

“For STAAR we’re not giving you poetry and little fairy tales to read anymore on the assessment, you’re getting informational text, nonfiction, and we need you to approach it as a good reader. So having that historical background, the understanding of what’s going on in the story, the children can then do a better job.”

Social Studies Facilitator, TX

“[Studies Weekly Teacher Edition] It has your lesson plans. It has your academic vocabulary there, any online resources that you might include, and then it has your assessment questions. They are so critical to measuring student mastery.”

5th Grade Teacher, NC

“I absolutely love Studies Weekly! The fact that it is standards-aligned is very helpful. It helps me to stay on pace with my students (I tend to nerd out).

The Archdiocese of Louisville Catholic Schools, KY

Director of Curriculum and Teacher Development, AL

“Now, education is extremely difficult. And I think it’s important for teachers to know how to use their resources wisely. One thing that we’re working on in our district is Cognia Accreditation. We’re going through district-wide accreditation and I am that guy. I’ve led our district with the help of our central office employees, our school principals, and their leadership teams, to do some self-assessments. This is where Studies Weekly has been a big talking point for us.”

Special Education Teacher, SC

“The curriculum follows South Carolina’s state standards. I can align lessons with what the regular education class is working on. Studies Weekly is easy to use and gets the information out to the students.”

Teacher, SC

“What a great way to squeeze in Social Studies when timing is a struggle! You can also easily comply with IEP accommodations and get a variety of grades.”

Curriculum Coordinator, HI

Homeschool & Charter Executive Director, CA

“[Studies Weekly] has multi-grade capability with it and it’s tangible, which homeschool families love. They love something to hold onto and they can read it together as a family.”

Director of Curriculum and Teacher Development, AL

“Studies Weekly makes our students be active. When Miss Betsy from the Professional Development team came this summer, the light bulb went on for some of our teachers. A lot of them honestly have been afraid of the technology. They were pretty much relying on the newspaper itself instead of the digital side of things. We know that all digital is not good, but all print is not good either. There’s got to be a happy medium between the two. Active learning encourages our kids to apply tech skills and digital literacy that keeps them engaged.”

3rd Grade Teacher, OH

“My class seems to enjoy the economics lessons most. I like the primary and secondary source practice.”

Teacher, TX

4th Grade Gifted Education Teacher, LA

“My students love the option to earn coins on the Studies Weekly website by answering questions correctly. Then, they love to spend the coins on fun things on the website. I love that they have an incentive to answer the questions we would answer anyway! They also love the crosswords and misspelled games online.”

2nd Grade Teacher, KY

“If you don’t have as much time in the class as I do, even if you just have 15 minutes, you still have the little newspaper. They can go through that, they can cut that up, and they can put it in a journal. You can still have a very successful lesson. If you want to draw it out for a week or so, then all the printables are online.”

2nd Grade Teacher, KY

“[Students] love having their newspapers. They feel like grown-ups, and they almost argue about who gets to pass them out each day! We have our own routine with putting our names and dates on them and things like that. That way, we know what day we did certain pages in them. I use all of the printables that are online and in the teacher resources.”

2nd Grade Teacher, CA

“I REALLY like Social Studies Weekly!  The kids are excited about the content, and the lesson can be completed in a timely manner.”

Early Childhood & Lower School Counselor, OH

“I loved how hands-on it is and allows for teacher flexibility. My students enjoy having the tangible paper but also enjoy how interactive it is online. It’s easy to cut apart the weekly issue and do more project-based activities with it. Which is why I recommended it to my current school, and the committee voted to adopt this program.”

3rd Grade Teacher, NM

“Students will be engaged because of the colorful, dynamic presentation in the weekly readers. Students also will love using the online platform to engage with the content.”

1st Grade Teacher, MO

“Studies Weekly impacts students’ learning in a positive way. They learn the most important points about various science and social studies concepts. Also, they participate in additional activities to help reinforce their learning. Those activities are part of the provided resources – so simple and easy to access. Our district is ready for another successful school year with the help of Studies Weekly!”

Assistant Director for Biliteracy, IL

“The printed magazine format allows students to actively engage with the reading and annotate directly, which supports their engagement throughout the lesson. Also, the online platform provides opportunities for both students and teachers to access resources that enhance instruction. The integration of Common Core Language Arts standards with social studies promotes best practices for all learners.”

Coordinator of Curriculum and Federal Programs, MO

Educator, MD

“The kids love the idea that they are reading about a variety of topics, some they can relate to their personal experiences. Then they learn about topics they may have never encountered.”

1st Grade Teacher, PA

“The students absolutely love the newspapers. It takes complicated material and puts it in a way that they can understand and enjoy. They then like to take them home and share them with their family!”

Instructional Coordinator, TX

“We had some feedback and the student said, “My grandpa reads their newspaper on Sunday,” so this little one brings out his newspaper and it’s really cute!”

Curriculum Coordinator, HI

“More students are engaged with [Studies Weekly] content. Students are able to stay on certain sections or go back and listen. They are also able to follow along in the printed text as well.”

1st Grade Teacher, CA

“I really enjoyed the Studies Weekly curriculum. It was effective and engaging for our students. The students really understood the text as it was written. It also had adjustable reading levels for each text. The magazines were fun for the kids, too! This is wonderful as far as space goes because it doesn’t take up any room in their already packed desks. It makes it easy for the students to follow along, especially for the younger students who have a hard time finding page numbers in big books. The google classroom link makes it easy to assign for our distance learners. Also, it asks comprehension questions at the end of each online assignment so no copying or sending home textbooks is required. I really enjoyed this curriculum and found it would be a great addition for our younger students.”

Homeschool Parent, CA

“For my first grader he’s going to see sight words. He’s going to be seeing some words that maybe he doesn’t know how to sound out yet. There are so many cool things!”

5th Grade Teacher, SC

“Studies Weekly is very impactful in regards to student engagement and learning. My students work through each week by highlighting information and responding to the prompts in small groups. This allows academic conversation to flourish in my classroom. Studies Weekly makes our content easy to understand while also pushing students to process information in a deeper, more meaningful way.”

Lower Elementary Lead Teacher, SC

“Studies Weekly impacts my students’ engagement by offering standards-based content that includes beautiful illustrations. Each week, the students love seeing the pictures and illustrations that draw them into the lesson. The content aligns with standards and is on grade reading level, and is accessible to most of my students, giving them practice with comprehension as well.”

Administrator, NJ

“[Studies Weekly’s] user-friendly design allows for seamless navigation between hard copies and the online platform, making it accessible for both teachers and students. The integration of extension videos is particularly noteworthy; they provide captivating content that keeps students engaged and eager to learn more.”

Social Studies Teacher, MO

“Students are very engaged with using the online edition of Studies Weekly instead of having to use another book. They also like being able to use the ‘explore more’ option and go more into depth with the topics that are more interesting to them.”

Curriculum Supervisor, NJ

3rd Grade Teacher, MO

“Studies Weekly has a huge impact on the engagement and learning in my classroom when it comes to science and social studies content! Because of the content rich articles, I am able to get nonfiction text in my students’ hands every week and I am able to easily combine writing and grammar into my science and social studies time.”

Teacher, NC

“I have seen Studies Weekly from grades 3-5, and I like the way it changes to allow students to engage with it and understand those tricky historical or economical concepts. My students love to see how many coins they can earn, and that motivates them to try their best.”

K-12 Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, TX

Thanks for creating such a thoughtful program around government and civics education.”

5th Grade Teacher, NJ

“Using Studies Weekly as my primary Social Studies curriculum has made it really easy to assign work digitally. After the first week, students got into a groove of reading the material, watching the videos, and answering the test questions by going back to the text. It has been perfect for my struggling learners and special education students because of all the read-to-me features included. I have received positive feedback from both students and parents. They love to answer questions and earn coins. The videos are fabulous and I have used them in class as well. Just recently, I started using some of the graphic organizers and I’m finding them to be very effective.”

2nd Grade Teacher, KY

“The kids get so much more out of inquiry-based learning that I’ve noticed. I saw that when I was the gifted education teacher, they love stuff like that. So I love it.”

1st Grade Teacher, TN

“I have used Social Studies Weekly magazines with my 1st grade students for several years. I love how the magazines help to guide teaching and discussion in the classroom. Students are able to see real life examples and photographs that help them to make sense of and relate to the state standards that are being taught. Students are then given the opportunity to apply their learning on the last page of the magazine. I love that students are able to consumable magazines home to share their learning with their families.”

4th Grade Gifted Education Teachers

As gifted teachers, we love the extra extension activities that come with some of the lessons. The research projects, presentations, games, etc. that we get to do, extend our learning, make the lessons more engaging, and allow my students to dig deeper. One of the ones we really loved was the social media profile for a Greek God/Goddess!”

K-2 Literacy Coordinator, TX

“PD WAS FANTASTIC!!!! You guys gave us EXACTLY what we asked for!

We cannot thank you guys enough for getting our teachers kicked off in the best way possible.”

Elementary Curriculum Coordinator, AR

“PD did a great job going through all of the resources with teachers and helping them understand how to find the information on the digital platform. They talked through all of the components in the kit and then additional resources that can help with extension activities. I think the most beneficial part was that the trainer was able to walk through the digital components, shared on her screen, while the teachers were able to follow on their own account.”

5th Grade Teacher, FL

“I wanted to thank you for your training for Clay County Florida for Social Studies. I had no idea what all I could do with these publications!

YOU are an amazing trainer and your teacher’s heart was built into everything you taught us!”

Coordinator of Social Studies

“I stumbled across Studies Weekly and reached out to Sheldon, and I was like ‘what are you, what are you guys doing?’ And that was kind of it!

Instructional Supervisor, KY

“We brought Betsy up to Kentucky. My first introduction to her was with the teachers. We were in the library, and I said, ‘Listen, you don’t have to hide your accent around Betsy; she’s just like us.’ That was real fun, her relationships with the teachers. I don’t know how frequently they email her, but I’ll tell them, ‘You’re more likely to get a response, a correct response, from Betsy than you will from me.'”

Homeschool Parent

“My kids love this curriculum, and it comes in the form of a newspaper. Each newspaper has its own subject, whether it’s health, science, or social studies, and we got them all. They get it each week and love to flip through it and read it. It comes with a teacher’s guide too, and I follow that, and it’s very easy.”

Homeschool Parent, AL

“This is our first year to homeschool and using Studies Weekly for history and science curriculum has been great. It is very easy for my child to understand, and she has a fun time doing it. The teacher resources are great for me. I feel like my child is going to learn a lot this year”

Homeschool Parent

“I picked up these cool newspaper-style curriculums for social studies, science, and health and am very impressed with how they lay everything out for me with the teacher guides. These are normally subjects I wouldn’t feel very confident teaching, and this honestly makes it very straightforward.”
