What do our customers say about us?

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.”

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.”

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.”

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, 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.”

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, 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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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

“[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!!!”

K-2 Curriculum Facilitator, LA

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

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, 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.”

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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!”

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

“Studies Weekly customer support is the best. I have worked with them for many years! They are extremely responsive to all inquiries. Their willingness to customize training sessions for the varying needs of our teachers throughout the year is just what all districts need to succeed with teaching and learning. 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!”

Teacher, TX

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

Instructional Supervisor, KY

“My favorite aspect of Studies Weekly is the team. Betsy [my PD Trainer] is part of that team, and I’m not shy about reaching out for help if I need assistance or if I don’t understand something.”

Director of Elementary Curriculum, TX

“Since the beginning of our partnership, Studies Weekly has provided outstanding customer service. Immediately following our decision to adopt, Studies Weekly was ready and eager to ensure a smooth delivery of resources to every teacher. Our district was working on digital transformation and Studies Weekly took care of all necessary steps required in order to be integrated into the district’s learning platform before the school year got started. We receive ongoing calls and visits to check on our implementation and needs. We could not ask for better support with professional development. HISD has received “red carpet” treatment ensuring support for meetings and trainings after school as well as overwhelming support for our first Saturday Social Studies Summit held in December. Houston is working on messaging that Studies Weekly can and should be used to reinforce our Literacy By 3 initiative and our Studies Weekly family is with us every step of the way. We are looking forward to another Studies Weekly supported the event in March and are grateful for our partnership.”

Teacher, NE

“I had a wonderful time visiting and attending the Studies Weekly Summit. The team at Studies Weekly is very dynamic! I was so impressed with the quality of the sessions and speakers.”

Curriculum Specialist, GA

“Debbie Singson and the Studies Weekly team are AMAZING!! Thank you!”

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. I am so glad that we now have Studies Weekly in each of our elementary schools!! Our teachers have really appreciated it and they are using it for the betterment of our students. Thank you for everything — it is an honor working with each of you.”

Teacher, FL

“I thoroughly enjoyed both the PD and recreational experiences provided by Studies Weekly. I even used a vocabulary strategy I learned while there in a vocabulary PD I put on this week! I appreciated the opportunity to be a part of the Summit.”

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!!!!”

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!”

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.”

Teacher, TX

“I would not change a thing. From beginning to end, we felt like valuable customers. Being able to designate how my order was shipped was invaluable. It saved my warehouse and me so much time!”

Teacher, TN

“I can’t thank you enough for your support, amazing service and resources, hospitality, and friendly atmosphere that made the summit so enjoyable. I had a wonderful time learning, networking, and exploring Utah.”

Curriculum Supervisor, GA

“Service and communication were excellent. Debbie Singson is awesome!”

Curriculum Coordinator, FL

“We are very pleased with the service we receive. Your support team is extremely responsive.”

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!”

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.”

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!”

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.”

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.”

Coordinator for Social Studies, TX

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

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+.”

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.”

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!”

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.

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

“It’s been an interesting year for us here in our district.

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.”

3rd Grade Teacher, OH

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

Teacher, TX

“When I started Studies Weekly, the students got more involved. I think everyone should at least give it a try. I’m sure they will get hooked on it.”

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.”

1st Grade Teacher, CA

“I went into a 2nd grade classroom about two months after we had the product [Explore Science], and kids were singing a phenomenon song – that hadn’t happened before this year. And it’s been a really good thing to have that in the teacher’s hands.”

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.”

5th Grade Teacher, IL

“My students and I are enjoying Studies Weekly. The lessons are designed to keep the interest of students without being too wordy. The quizzes after each lesson are extremely helpful to reinforce key ideas. Students seem to love earning the coins as well. Thanks for creating such a thoughtful program around government and civics education.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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!”

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.”

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). I love that the text is rigorous and leads to great discussions. My students love both the print and digital formats, videos, and engaging articles.”

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.”

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.”

4th Grade Gifted Education Teacher

“Previously, I was pulling together activities and resources from all over the place to meet my standards. With Studies Weekly, everything is together in one place — so easy to implement!”
